Sean McCabe and Lem Springsteen - Connection

Good Vibrations Music founder Sean McCabe and Mood II Swing co-founder Lem Springsteen have struck up a strong studio partnership over the last couple of years. The collaboration has continued apace during the period of lockdown forced by the continuing global pandemic, with McCabe and Springsteen determined to conjure up something to raise spirits amongst followers of deep and soulful house.

“Connection”, the duo’s third collaborative single on Good Vibrations Music, is a celebration of staying connected whilst we’re forced to stay apart. It features a sensitive, soulful lead vocal from Springsteen – ably supported by Jamelle Jones on backing vocals – reciting his own thoughtful, positive lyrics. The message is simple: we may well be apart, but if we support each other, deeper relationships are still possible. The track that sits beneath is typically musically rich and colourful, with McCabe layering positive chord sequences, stirring strings and lilting synthesizer melodies atop a superb bassline and shuffling deep house drums.

As is now customary, McCabe has delivered a number of alternative versions and remixes to sit alongside the memorable original mix. These include a superb “Reprise” mix, which builds from a dreamy, soulful, beat-free start – allowing Springsteen’s vocal and McCabe’s chords a chance to shine – into a bumpin’ dancefloor treat.

Arguably the most notable alternative version is the “Hook-Up Dub”, where McCabe toughens up the beats, emphasizes the bass and unleashes a string of spacey synth solos. He also makes great use of delay-laden snippets of Springsteen’s vocal and some typically tactile chords.

Release dates:
5 June 2020 on Bandcamp
12 June 2020 on Traxsource
26 June 2020 everywhere else

Sean McCabe and Lem Springsteen - Connection (GVM019)

soulful/disco

The Upload

Connection

house various

Offering a fine taster of what to expect from Sean McCabe’s debut album is ‘Tomorrow’s Another Day’ featuring the crystal clear, neo-soul vocals of Donae’o. The single itself is a sunny, feel-good anthem with swinging drums, soaring vocals and golden chords that warm through minds, bodies and souls.

As well as the original Extended Version there is a Sean McCabe dub which tones down the vocals and buries them amongst glowing pads, twinkling disco melodies and plenty of colourful chord action. The beats still swing invitingly, with extra warm dub undercurrents and frankly it’s the sort of record that is impossible not to love.

The album and ‘Tomorrow’s Another Day’ single are released on Monday 27th October

Sean McCabe Feat. Donae'o - Tomorrow's Another Day (Extended Mix)

Sean McCabe's debut album is available now from the Z SHOP on Gatefold Double LP, CD and Digital

http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

This lush and musical 17-track affair is Sean’s first big solo project and it has been in the works for almost three years. Written mostly in his Bristol studio, the LP features a wealth of international collaborations – Jennifer Wallace, Diane Charlemagne, Renn - and has been made primarily on real hardware such as the Fender Rhodes, SH-09, Juno 106, Poly 61, JV-1010, EMU Vintage Keys and the Moog Slim Phatty.

 

Sean who has been producing since his teens and includes fine labels like US garage staple King Street Sounds, Defected, Strictly Rhythm and Local Talk in his discography says of the album: “It was important for me to get it perfected to my original vision, and to keep that vision throughout was difficult. I’ve literally drawn inspiration from everything that’s influenced me as producer and writer over the years. I always wanted to create something that demonstrates all my tastes in soulful dance music which can be influenced by so many sub genres like Hip Hop, Disco, Jazz, Soul, Deep House, US garage etc. The NuYorican Soul album has always been a benchmark for me in terms of a perfectly constructed album and is something I never get tired of listening to.”

 

Those influences shine though in this fantastically musical and deeply considered album: it bares all the hallmarks of a proper full length that has been built from the ground up with fantastic arrangements, catchy vocals and real song structures.

 

The production values are sky high on this album, and though it might have been a long time in the making, it was worth it, because it categorically proves that now really is Sean McCabe’s time.

Sean McCabe and Lem Springsteen - Connection (Original)

I personally don't think this song has ever changed for a lot of people in this world. Written and performed in the 70s with a message of change and it is 2020 and nothing really has. I have done this edit for any DJ that wants to play this in their sets to remind people of the importance of change.
