Footshooter 'Libations & Movement EP' The remixes 

After the amazing Libations & Movement EP release of summer 2020, Footshooter is back with a hand picked bunch of top producers on remix duties. 

Repurposed and reimagined, the remixes go on a journey. From the delicate rolling Deep House vibes of William Florelle on ‘Malaika ft MO.MOYO. Florelle is a fast growing producer talent championed by the likes of Wot Not Music among others. 

To the mesmerising tribal bruk drum track from Fernando Damon, a drummer and producer from Cape Town, South Africa and Gilles Peterson fave. Fernando takes ‘Catch My Breath’ on a drum workout! It just keeps you locked in as the horns from Wilf Petherbridge build in and around this intensely hypnotic drum pattern. It commands attention! 

Then into some low fi skippy House niceness, ‘Lay’ ft Natty Wylah is remixed by the elusive Jackson Almond. (BBE, Wot Not, Eton Messy) Straight up dance heat, big biznez but somehow still maintains a laid back vibe. And if that wasn’t enough, Jackson also delivers a heavy Bruk jam of ‘Malaika’ ft MO.MOYO. This time with synth lasers and big basslines, ripe for dance!

Xtra Brux brings a ruff and tuff rendition of ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy risk, but keeps it on a level, allowing her full vocal to shine, if you know Brux this is unusual! 

Then from Tiff’s Joints Boss and Touching Bass member Sean Keating aka Poison Zcora, is another hypnotic tribal drum groove. ‘Malaika’ ft MA.MOYO, this time with a steady 4 x 4 riddim dancing with the congas and bass synth, while MA.MOYO’s vocal reminds us of that deep deep bass!

Finishing off with a more cinematic and ambient vibe from Romaal Kultan, flipping ‘Slipped Back’ ft Izzy Risk on its head and into a dream, lying in the grass with daisies, looking into the sky making shapes out of clouds! Seriously tho, this went on repeat about 20 times!! Just beautiful, no more words needed really !

“Come on in…” The opening line of Reel People’s new single says it all. A close collaboration with French DJ-producer Sebb Junior and Atlanta singer-songwriter Smith, Holla If You See Me grabs from the get-go thanks to its irresistible blend of soulful depth and future-sheen.

Fans of both Reel People and Sebb Junior won’t be disappointed. Holla If You See Me is a swaggering, super-smooth bridge between R&B, soul and house, with tight beats, rolling b-line and dreamy swirls of synth driving on Smith’s incredible jet-setting, love-happy vocals.

Sebb Junior is an unstoppable force on today’s soulful house and dance scene, and no stranger to the Reel People family having previously remixed the collective and dropped uplifting EP Together Alone on its perpetually in-demand label.

Reel People, spearheaded by core trio Oli Lazarus, Mike Patto and Toni Economides, builds on a flurry of successful singles and EPs in 2021, as well as the beautifully remastered release of landmark album Second Guess. The collective’s thirst for heartfelt grooves and sweet songcraft still knows no bounds.

Holla… you definitely need this new cut in your life.

Reel People are back. Back to their roots. Back to the future. Back with a bang. Eagerly awaited new album Retroflection sees the revered collective recreating 12 soul, disco and boogie classics pivotal to their formation nearly 20 years ago and subsequent hugely successful evolution. Band leader Oli Lazarus has gathered a stellar cast of musicians and singers, – the likes of Angie Stone, Mica Paris, Omar, Tony Momrelle, Navasha Daya, Anthony David, LaSharVu and Sharlene Hector breathing fresh and irresistible life into seminal grooves by Maze, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie among others.

Mica Paris opens proceedings, her powerful take on Alicia Myers’ gospel-R&B jam I Want To Thank You an impressive herald for what’s to come – authenticity, contemporary edge, rich musicianship, beating soulful heart. Angie Stone provides sass ‘n’ slink over signature low-end synths for a suitably raw re-tooling of Yarbrough & People’s 1980 hit Don’t Stop The Music, whilst the funky strut of Thinking About Your Love (a crisper, more urgent update of Skipworth & Turner) perfectly complements Omar’s expansive, one-in-a-million vocals. Elsewhere, Reel People regular Tony Momrelle revisits Carl Anderson’s mid-Eighties gem Buttercup (penned by Stevie Wonder) with considerable finesse as well as Bill Withers’ seriously underrated collabo with guitarist Jose Feliciano, Can We Pretend.

Basement Jaxx songstress Sharlene Hector uplifts on a sparkling new version of Side Effect’s Always There. Reel People’s sweet summer hook-ups with Baltimore chanteuse Navasha Dava are also present and correct – I’m In Love and Can’t Fake The Feeling pay affectionate tribute to Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Geraldine Hunt respectively at the same time as showcasing Daya’s sublime, jazz-flecked delivery. There’s still room for Anthony David’s luscious rendition of deep-soul bomb Keep It Up (originally by Milton Wright) and for LaSharVu – a white-hot amalgam of Hector and fellow female powerhouses Vulu Malinga and LaDonna Harley-Peters – to smartly re-dress Teena Marie joint I Need Your Lovin’. Sleek instrumental twists on Maze’s Twilight and Pleasure’s Joyous complete the incredible line-up.

Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years (following acclaimed releases Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder, as well as compilation work including Golden Lady), Retroflection reflects the highest possible level of passion and polish. Such soulful devotion and craftmanship has ever been a Reel People hallmark. Recorded in London and Atlanta over an intense 12-month period, Retroflection also avoids the formulaic overload of modern beats and basslines that countless others pursue. Here the past is artfully reawakened, Reel People’s talented cast of performers – overseen by experienced studio-hands Lazarus, Mike Patto, Matt Cooper (of Incognito fame) and Toni Economides - re-treading classic riffs with new yet respectful purpose. Their compelling neo-soul blend of now and then should awe diehards and newcomers alike. Retroflection is one hell of a return.

Oh, and before you ask – (it’s the question Lazarus gets the most) – live shows are set to follow. Reel People have recorded Retroflection with an easy translation to ‘the road’ front of funky mind. Looks, then, like we’ll be enjoying this incredible group’s company well into 2019…and beyond. It really is good to have them back.
