nu soul II

MIMS is very excited to have the first drop on Orestes Gomez' remix for fellow Venezuelan Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos' "Bocón". A lush neo-soul & jazz heavy bed for Luzmira Zerpa's poignant verbal attack on lying politicians. Taken from a forthcoming remixes 45 on London-based Olindo Records.

Orestes' remix made a BIG impression on Raúl Monsalve: "I was so impressed by what Orestes did, taking the original track to another realm... and groovy as a motherfucker". Orestes is joined on the track by some impressive sidemen, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Orestes Gomez is one of the most recognized drummers in Latin America. His work fusing musical genres including: Afro, Latin, Hip Hop, and Jazz has earned him international recognition. He has travelled the world playing and collaborating with some of the most respected bands of Latin America including; Los Amigos Invisibles, Gustavo Dudamel, Caloncho, Mcklopedia, Apache, and Akapellah. On the remix he is joined by some exciting musicians, including bassist Daniel Briceño (La Vida Boheme) and flautist Eric Chacón (Tony Succar / Miguel Siso).

Last year Orestes produced the entirety of 'Dealers in Caracas', a hip hop album in partnership with Venezuelan MC Mcklopedia, and earlier this year he released a series of contemporary jazz pieces in a trio with Latin Grammy nominated pianist Gabriel Chakarji and bassist Freddy Adrian.

Raúl Monsalve and his all-star family of musicians received praise and support for their exciting fusion of Afro Venezuelan rhythms with Latin jazz, psych, funk and Afrobeat, from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Gideon Coe, Huey Morgan, Stuart Maconie (BBC Radio 6 Music), Jazz FM, NTS, Songlines, Bandcamp, Radio Nova, Le Grigri, FIP, and of course, Music Is My Sanctuary.

Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos are currently on a European tour with dates across France, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland and the Supersonic Jazz Festival in Amsterdam.

The Orestes Gomez remix of "Bocón" is streaming from this week across all the usual platforms and is available to pre-order on vinyl and download from the Olindo Records Bandcamp. The full 45 with a remix of another 'Bichos' cut, by fellow Venezuelan Venezonix, is due for release on September 4, 2021.

So, later this year will mark the 30th anniversary of the release of what is, arguably, #Sade's best album of all time, #LoveDeluxe. I bought the CD at Tower Records when it came out, back in '92, when I was 15 years old (yes, I was ahead of my years with impeccable musical taste, if I do say so lol).

Track for track, it's a solid album and truly a masterpiece, and I couldn't have imagined that I would one day have the musical ability to be able to not only replay the arrangement, if I wanted to, but that I would have the skills to also add my own arrangements to possibly the best track on the album–#CherishTheDay"– and create this alternate universe version where I give it a more 21st century modern/Hip Hop-ish beat while maintaining the original synths & guitar, but adding new Rhodes piano and choir synth chord progressions in two breakdowns, instead of one, and removing the original drums and bass line, replacing it my own chill groove to maybe give it some more sensuality/sexiness (especially in the second half of the second 8-bar breakdown, at the 3:37 mark...smoky, sensual, hypnotic harmonies to stand apart from the original's, which was sexy as well).

I hope you enjoy my take on this classic and please do let me know if you're feeling it, and please share with others who you know would love it as much as I did making it...and please subscribe because I'm definitely gonna be adding more content, if you all want more? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean...I've remade 2 songs from this album already (first one was "I Couldn't Love You More", which many radio stations had been putting in steady rotation over the past couple of years), and there still a few months left in 2022, so I wonder if I can knock out a few more, if not the rest of the album?? 🤔😉

Cherish the Day (Ahmed Sirour Rework)

Sade - Cherish The Day (Ahmed Sirour Rework)

Dreamy new jazz from Clear Path Ensemble. Perfect for a hot, humid day.  "Drumatix" is taken from their forthcoming on Soundway Records, "Solar Eclipse". 

Led by percussionist Cory Champion, Clear Path Ensemble bottles the energy of New Zealand’s bubbling new jazz scene and distills it into moody morsels of differing styles. From electric jazz to ambient, experimental, house and funk – it’s a DIY, jam-session attitude towards composition, as the band members freely cherry-pick from a vast orchard of influences.

I made a song with a musician I hold in regard, Kuniyuki. We then ended up remixing the track and what you are listening to, is the end result of my remix.

You can hear Kuniyuki's remix on his 'Kuniyuki & Friends A Mix Out Session' CD, along with a load of other great music from him and others.

Enjoy.
