Dreamscape Festival Demo Mix - DIEZEL

Buy: https://zrecords.lnk.to/WantMeBack

Continuing on with the successful run of singles from Produced with Love II, we have Mistura featuring Toronto-based poet Jemini. Brand new versions come from someone who needs no introduction - Jamie Odell aka Jimpster. His Jazz'd Up mix starts off stripped right back, based around a 303 bassline, it builds and builds and builds ending with a deep powerful version that satisfies both the soul and dance floor. His Peak Time Deepness'mix does exactly what it says on the tin, locking you in for some heads-down grooving that will keep you coming back for more.

The original from Dave Lee bubbles with a p-funk boogie bassline, tight disco drums, sublime piano work, and heaps of sparkling synth flourishes.

LOUIE VEGA BREAKS DOWN HIS GRAMMY NOMINATED REMIX OF JASPER STREET CO. / PRAYING FOR YOU

 I've been a huge fan of Jasper Street Co. and its producers Teddy Douglas and DJ Spen and the whole Baltimore family for over 25 years. Baltimore always had the Gospel sound in the pocket when it came to dance music. They've been doing it for years, and that Gospel influence inspired me to create some of my own productions and remixes with artists like Bebe Winans, The Winans Brothers, The Clarke Sisters, & Kenny Bobien to name a few. And who would imagine we’d be here? A Grammy Nomination in the Best Remixed Category for the Louie Vega Remix of "Praying For You" by Jasper Street Co. produced by Baltimore finest.  

Here's how it all happened. Michael Weiss from Nervous Records signed an album deal for Jasper Street Co., and he reached out and asked me to remix one of the album cuts. I listened to every track, but for some reason the song "Praying For You" stood out. I think the syncopated beat, and the driving backgrounds singing "On My Knees" in the vamp caught my ear. Besides it being a truly inspirational song, it had all the elements I would need to start the remix. 

What also helped solidify my choice to remix this track was when I went to a birthday party for Tony Humphries in New Jersey at the Cricket Club with guest DJ Teddy Douglas, Teddy played the track while I was dancing on the floor and hearing it in their environment…I said this is the one to remix! 

I went into my studio Daddy's Workshop with the stems and called on my keyboardist / collaborator Axel Tosca after I had finished up the rhythm track.  We revoiced the chords and vocal song elements giving it a new feel. I enhanced the syncopated loop that was there with more kicks, hats, claps, and it just created a driving beat that was a dj's tool if any and would get anyone movin' on a dancefloor.  

Once Axel and I finished up the music we called in Gene Perez (Bass Player of Elements Of Life) and he laced the groove and then the pocket was complete. I moved around vocals to create a vamp with adlibs giving you the force of testifying with a musical change that elevated you to an even loftier place. When I finished the overdub sessions (it took two sessions to complete) I thought I could build it even more with additional adlibs from the group. This required some extra coordination given everyone’s various schedules. 

I conferred with Michael Weiss and we decided to make a road trip out of it. A bunch of my New York nightlife fam came along, and we had a 4 car caravan rolling down I95 on a Sunday morning journey to Baltimore.  The plan was to do the recording at one of Spen and Teddy's studio stomping grounds, and then that night  throw a party afterwards at a small venue with fans to test out a rough mix of the session. 

The trip was a complete success! Having Vonita, Fruity, and Richard from Jasper Street Co. sing new backgrounds, along with a new set of adlibs by Vonita brought the song to that next level. It was the icing on the cake! And the party that night was incredible. The energy was through the roof when I played a rough mix of the song. 

That week I went back to my studio Daddy's Workshop and arranged what we recorded and my engineer Yas Inoue and I finished up the remix. The following Wednesday I went to play at my residency in New York City, Expansions NYC and before the night started with our staff we listened to the final mix and everyone went crazy dancing and feeling the track. We knew right there it was an instant smash! 
This track truly comes from the underground grass roots of dance music, and it’s a true honor to see that it is nominated for a Grammy in the Best Remix Category !!
