First Love - Love Me Today (SLY Edit)

***RELEASED 21st JULY ON NUNORTHERN SOUL RECORDS***

A little over a year ago NuNorthern Soul brought you BJ Smith's gorgeous cover versions of two Hip Hop classics. Last time out he tackled Mos Def’s  ‘Umi Says’ which Gilles Peterson proclaimed as the ‘soundtrack to sunsets for years to come’ and The Pharcydes ‘Runnin’ Away’; this time he is bringing his unique touch to the recently-reunited Outkast.

Andre 3000 and Big Boi are hitting the festival circuit during the summer; this celebration of their greatest work should tide you over until they get back into the studio. And would they approve of these two radical re-interpretations of their music? We like to think so, see what you think.


BJ Smith - Hey Ya!

Cover versions are always at their best when they take the original song to places it never went before, which this version of Hey Ya! most certainly does. Imagine Adventure Time's Jake and Finn bursting out into song and what comes out of their animated mouths just happens to be a cover of Outkast's most enduring hit 'Hey Ya'. If sunshine could be captured on vinyl, it would sound like this.

Starting with an acoustic guitar, Hey Ya! builds into a rich collage that goes through folk, onto balearic and bounces to a close with a reggae groove. It is best enjoyed at sunset or sunrise with a cool drink in hand.


BJ Smith - Prototype

Prototype is made for Mr Smith's style; essentially it always was a wistful, dream-like folky number. However, after a fairly faithful start, things eventually end up in a very different place as this version becomes a fuller, more wholesome experience.

BJ Smith takes it right out of Atlanta folk territory and into Philly Soul with brass stabs, string sweeps and keys supplementing the already gorgeous bassline. Extra harmonies and playful guitars also add to the heady, '70s style. Later in the track it is the 1990s that provides the inspiration as the familiar brass riff from the early Outkast classic SpottieOttieDopaliscious makes a very welcome appearance, a moment any hip hop connoisseur will relish.

UNIQUE DEEP VOL.1

All I Want (Mr Deep Remix)

#MidnightBassline  
#devsays “Midnight doesn’t explain — it pulses into the future.”

Track Details: 100 BPM, Nu-Disco × Modular Pop × Ambient Synth  
Vocal: Female alto (sung) × Male spoken — shimmer FX, stereo bloom, tape delay  
Mood: Groove-forward, emotionally restrained, cinematic shimmer

Midnight Bassline is a modular original built from walking synth bass, arpeggiated guitar, and ambient pads. The rhythm section features swung hi-hats, ghost snares, and layered congas for bounce and clarity. The synth bass is analog-saturated with rhythmic sidechain and octave jumps for emotional lift. Clean electric guitar is processed with chorus, shimmer reverb, and stereo delay, serving as melodic counterpoint. Pads stretch into ambient warmth, layered with vinyl crackle and shimmer FX for spatial depth. Vocals are sparse and loopable: whispered phrases, falsetto hooks, and spoken verses with stereo shimmer and tape delay. The structure is modular and cinematic, built for topline overlays, sync edits, and late-night transitions. The mix favors clarity and groove over density, with soft compression, EQ sculpting, and ambient textures to evoke emotional restraint.

This track is a modular release, built for vinyl drops, playlist sync, and warm set transitions. It is shared publicly for immersive listening and remix reinterpretation. Non-commercial use only. Remixers must credit original artist and retain modular phrasing integrity. No monetization without written permission.

PRE-RELEASE, AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS SOON  
Credits: Composed, arranged, curated, processed, produced, mixed, and mastered by Gautam Dev

Midnight Bassline

Let the rhythm guide you through a cinematic journey into the soul of Africa.

This original tribal soundtrack blends deep percussion, spiritual atmospheres, ancestral melodies and immersive textures — capturing the heartbeat of a continent where rhythm is life and music is memory.

Each track tells a story.
Of land.
Of spirit.
Of people.
Of movement.

Created by Krap Noise, this album is a tribute to the connection between music and nature, tradition and future, dance and ritual. A meditation in sound, made for those who feel the pulse of the earth.

Live in Africa
