Yes, yes & also yes!

Tina In A Higher Place (Original Mix)

Channeled all my grief & melancholy of 2024 into this my first Afro House-style remix - and coming out the other side of this project poised with empathy, optimism & purpose for the new year. Wishing everyone wellness & self-love ♡

Support Red Hot Org's TRA​И​Ƨ​A project here: https://redhot.bandcamp.com/album/tra-a

"With production beginning in 2021, and over 100 artists contributing, TRAИƧA marks one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by Red Hot - a spiritual journey across 8 chapters and 46 songs, spotlighting the gifts of many of the most daring, imaginative trans and non-binary artists working today. It softens the edges of the world we know, and invokes powerful dreams of the futures that might one day thunder from its cracks. The album's instantly memorable cover speaks to the tension between nature and constructed environments, and the tension of transness in the western gender binary."

Sade : Young Lion (Ion's Resilience Mix) [Afro House Remix]

Out of love for the source material...my slowed-down, bassed-up rendition of the new single "Retrograde".  Remixed in a way I thought Jamie XX or James Blake himself might.  Very happy to share this with the world!
