Another terrific achievement with this album is the signing of an outstanding Vietnamese producer Vũ Đăng Tuấn alias SKULZ, the very first artist to join the label, with a fantastic remix of “No Fear, Tribute To Nina Simone” that will be released in April 2022. With this remix, SKULZ his empowering the “feeling good” energy and gives his personal touch to the original by adding revisited piano chords and melodic. Moreover, SKULZ is bringing his sound signature on the bouncy-housy bassline that creates an interesting revisited groove. A brilliant remix that is marking SKULZ's very first release on a label.

Determind - No Fear, Tribute To Nina Simone (SKULZ Remix)

Fall Forward is the funky house track produced by Determind. It’s a feeling good and inspirational song using vocal samples from Denzel Washington’s famous speech at the university of Pennsylvania, at Penn’s 2011 Commencement, on Monday, May 16, 2011

The track ideas were making a “gospel music” atmosphere with signature singers humming, and a strong presence of clap that could remind of a hand clapping, something that swing and soulful. All together, the structure is very refreshing and easy to listen to, a track to listen at home with friends or on the dancefloor.

PREMIERE: Determind - Puspawarna (Original Mix) [Stargazing Records]

Devastator is an exceptional single track produced by Determind featuring Juan Anthony Reyes at the trumpet. The single track is a concentrate of groove, and party vibe: the groovy bassline made with Jupiter 8 synth, is the backbone of the track and is entirely structuring core rhythms. Classic house piano chords and rolling percussion and bells were added to the track, a smart way to highlight 80s disco heritage widely used in House music. In this nostalgic old school vibe, Determind chose a popular Rave vocal sample, « Devastating, Motivating, Complicating, Perpetrating, Hesitating, Celebrating, Dominating, infiltrating. » from the Vengeance sample pack as a tribute to its musical origins and the 2020 crisis currently devastating the world. Finally, the cherry on the top that brings the track to a completely different level is the live trumpet from Juan Anthony Reyes was recorded by Determind, gives a sharp swing and romance with rising intensity on the breaks that create a unique dancefloor attraction.
