Announcing new album ‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’, BBE Music, DJ Amir and 180 Proof records present the first single from the project, ‘Creative Musicians, featuring remixes by Waajeed and Henrik Schwarz.

‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’ is no ‘covers’ album, rather a brand-new celebration of the iconic imprint, as Jazzanova’s take on Lyman Woodard Organization’s musical manifesto ‘Creative Musicians’ makes clear from its Afrobeat-inspired horn arrangements, drum track, and syncopated tempo.

The vocalist for these sessions is Sean Haefeli, who originally hails from Indianapolis, and brings a relaxed urgency to his contributions, sounding like a young Gil Scott-Heron.

Leveraging his 20 plus year friendship with legendary Detroit DJ/Producer extraordinaire, Waajeed, Amir enlists him for a special four-to-the-floor mix that not only keeps that organic vibe but also adds a unique contemporary Detroit flavour!

Henrik Schwarz needs little introduction to fans of eclectic electronic sounds. For over thirty years, his amazing body of work has packed dancefloors worldwide. Henrik takes ‘Creative Musicians’ in a slightly different direction, retaining many of Jazzanova’s original elements while adding his signature sound to the mix, providing another dance floor scorcher!

And just to give you proper context, we have included the cult-classic, much-loved original version of ‘Creative Musicians’ by the Lyman Woodard Organization.

Jazzanova - Creative Musicians

I feel the static in the silence,
a hidden rhythm in the air.
Every shadow starts to lighten,
when the heartbeat pulls me there.

Colors collide, I’m wide awake,
gravity bends but I won’t break.

Head in motion, heart on fire,
moving closer to desire.
Spin me ‘round, I can’t escape,
groove is written on my veins.

Fragments of light across the ceiling,
echoes dancing through the floor.
Every moment feels revealing,
like I’ve been here once before.

Colors collide, I’m wide awake,
gravity bends but I won’t break.

Head in motion, heart on fire,
moving closer to desire.
Spin me ‘round, I can’t escape,
groove is written on my veins.

Take me higher, don’t let go,
we’re electric, overflow.
All these frequencies align,
your pulse is tangled up in mine.

Head in motion, head in motion,
heart on fire, in devotion.
Groove eternal, here we stay,
dancing darkness into day.

Head in Motion

Winfield Parker - I Wanna Be With You

Good Feelings (Vocal Version)
Good Feelings (Instrumental Version)

A.C. Band is the newest project from West Hill dancefloor mystics Dario di Pace, Raffaele Arcella, and Enrico Fierro and on the Good Feelings 7”, released by Periodica Records, the trio pair passages of majestic diva ecstasy and cooing spoken word to crisp disco beats, grease soaked bassline grooves, and galactic synth leads while funk guitars flash around the spectrum. Claps crack into the electrified night, FM chords sparkle like starlight, and hand drums ride the warming currents of a seaside breeze while elsewhere, the track gives over to brief expanses of polyrhythmic intensity. And in addition to the vocal version, A.C. Band also present “Good Feelings” as an instrumental, which gives further space to cosmic synthesizer motifs and their themes of epic adventure and cinematic romance. (Words by Octagon Eyes)
