This remix is based on the song, Stamena: trad. Macedonian, recorded by August Hoerr for the FatChanceBellyDance album Muse Melodic.          To listen and download:

 His track spoke to me as soon as I heard that vocal hook on top of the always stellar accordion work for which August is known for and It  was to become the springboard for this musical journey.  Stay tuned.. downloads may be available soon. Enjoy. : )

This song was a collaborative effort with vocalist Lorrie Rivers. I wanted to produce a track that would complement her vocal style. Erring to the early influences of electronic down tempo acts such as Portishead and Massive Attack. Jazzy airy vocs with a touch of modern processing supported by heavy bass and rhythmic modulation.
