Ronnie Foster - On The Avenue (Rare Funk Edit)

96kbps  preview clip ** (Editorial Limited #13)  out -MAY 2015

Ed Wizard & Disco Double Dee- Endless Love** (Editorial Limited #13)

Here's a little tribute to Quincy Jones and LA, as part of "Too Slow To Disco" label new compilation whose proceeds will go to MUSICARES, an organization helping musicians affected by the recent Southern California wildfires. 

In this remix I revisited Quincy's classic 1981 song "The Dude", featuring a dream team of musicians like James Ingram on vocals, Herbie Hancock and Steve Wonder on some keys and...a young Michael among the choir.

The compilation, featuring a cool list of disco producers is available here :

George Benson - The Ghetto (Lego Retouch)

Here is a rework of my favorite Terry Callier track, "Holdin' On (To Your Love)", a groove pearl made of soulful horns, touching politically-conscious lyrics and Terry's incredibly warm voice at his best. The original song was released in 1978 as part of his classic LP "Fire On Ice".

We are pleased to announce the arrival of the first single from Vol. 2, featuring one of our favorite singers from Los Angeles,  Noelle Scaggs ( of the band FItz & The Tantrums).  

This isn't our first collaboration with Noelle... 

Our very own Todd M. Simon inked a new Rock Steady arrangement of James Brown's "Think (About It)" for The Lions back in 2007, which featured Noelle on vocals.  Noelle has also graced many other collaborations on her own, including Quantic (aka Will Holland) and Dilated Peoples, as well as being the featured lead female vocalist in the L.A. funk and soul outift The Rebirth .

This version of "Walk On By" is an extrapolation of the original Dionne Warwick version, mutated with the stylings of Isaac Hayes rendition and finally given a "decoded" Lovers Rock backbeat.  This was quite the undertaking, and Noelle did a great job invoking the classic women of soul from the 60's era to give this version a refreshing-yet old school feel.

Burt Bacharach and Hal David (R.I.P) were a great composer team, penning many a classic hit including "I Say A Little Prayer For You" which is also slated for a Decoders vol. 2 release later this year.  We hope that we did justice to their vision with our version of "Walk On By".

The strings were recorded by San Diego native, Thomas Lea.  Thomas is the latest addition to the Decoders production team, and you can hear his lush string arrangements on upcoming releases from Rhye & Quadron.

The official release date for the single is tuesday, October 16th.  It will be made available on itunes, amazon and bandcamp for download.

We hope you enjoy it and please share if you feel it!

Also, in case you haven't seen it, please check out our new EPK, which is an introduction to the project and gives a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes in the studio!
