Good Vibrations Music

Over the pandemic, Fred would check in with me ask what I'm working on & how I'm handling the situation. We both started with the ASR-10 sampler & we discussed trading unfinished tracks & sample discs & finishing each others tracks. In the meantime, I made him this 2 record mash-up on my turntables as part of that series I was keeping myself & record collection busy with. He loved it but I never dropped it, so here it is for our B-Boy extRedAstaire R.I.Beats Freddie uniting  with some heavy hitters up in the Hip Hop Heavens - I hope you're feeling all this love Worldwide. Condolences to the whole family, I want you to know we tried getting him to NYC many times but he loved you guys so much he never wanted to leave home. Love from NYC, Nickodemus

Harold Matthews Jr & Piers Kirwan – Turn Your Vibe Around

Get ready to elevate your mood as two artists from opposite sides of the globe, Harold Matthews Jr (Chicago) and Piers Kirwan (UK), join forces to unleash an electrifying collaboration, "Turn Your Vibe Around."

With Harold’s emotive vocals and Piers’ infectious beats, "Turn Your Vibe Around" offers 2 interpretations, from the edgy broken vibes of the ‘Original Mix’, to the deeper swinging rhythms of the ‘Turned It Around Mix’.

Chicago-based Harold wrote his first releases in the early 90’s with artists like Ron Trent, Terry Hunter, Maurice Joshua and Ron Carroll with songs such as “Ritual Of Love” and Barbara Tucker’s “I Get Lifted”. Throughout the late 90’s he was well known for his songs under his ‘Blak Beat Niks’ alias with production partner K. Fingers on PAN Records, Large Music and his own label Melodious Fonk with “The Sun Will Shine”. The 2000’s saw him move on to further projects with the likes of Slip N Slide, Mark Knight, Peppermint Jam, Glenn Underground, Makin’ Moves and Sean McCabe.

We welcome back Piers Kirwan to Good Vibrations Music, after remixing Harold’s “Into You” in 2023. UK born and bred; Kirwan has since the late 80's, slowly worked his way into the global house music scene. As one half of Stereo Mutants for 8 years, with releases the likes of Defected, Duffnote, Seamless, Open Bar, and Soulfuric. And in more recent times expressing his appreciation for eclectic deeper and dynamic sounds, spanning house and broken beat, with releases on Boogie Café, Dance Regular, and Last Forever Records.

How Does It Feel?

Sean McCabe & Hanlei - How Does It Feel? (GVM002)

It began in South Africa! A Deep House Sunday session in Johannesburg called ‘Patterns’ was the original inspiration behind this soul-jazz-afro fused collaboration. Returning to Bristol from his 2015 tour in SA, Sean began writing the instrumental idea for what later became ‘Grow’.

Dawn Williams is no stranger to contributing her gifted talents to create songs for the world to think about. With ‘Grow’, Dawn graces us with her inspirational message of hope and self–growth.

Sean McCabe’s ‘Patterns Vocal Mix’ has a solid groove, lush jazzy chords and layered with nice paddy synths – topped off with both beautiful and amazing vocals from Dawn, capturing hearts and taking you on a journey.

Warm Days label boss and Patterns resident DJ, QB Smith, is on remix duty. QB takes the jazz influences to the next level by exploring more syncopated rhythms, complemented by tender harmonic qualities that carefully bed the vocal track.

Add a pumped up dub with a snare pattern set to move your body, and this is most definitely a track that uplifts your soul and makes you want to dance.

“After the storm the clouds clear,
And the sun begins to shine all around me.” 

“Grow (After The Storm)” is available to buy exclusively at Traxsource.com from 9 December 2016 and all other digital stores from 6 January 2017.

Sean McCabe presents Dannis Winston - Rocket Love (Louie Vega Remix)

At the tail end of summer 2018, singer-songwriter Dannis Winston scored a club and radio hit with 'Rocket Love', a summery soulful house workout produced by Good Vibrations Music founder Sean McCabe and legendary Mood II Swing producer Lem Springsteen. Now the song has been given a breezy and groovy makeover by a true legend of New York house music: GRAMMY Award winner Louie Vega.

The Masters at Work man has previously won awards for his remix work, so it's little surprise to find that Vega's remix of 'Rocket Love' elevates an already memorable track to dizzy new heights. Utilizing a virtuoso piano performance from regular collaborator Axel Tosca, a warm new bassline by Gene Perez and chunky, bumping beats, Vega has created a classic-sounding revision. There's no doubt about the star attraction, either: throughout the Masters at Work producer's revision, it's Winston's memorable lyrics and virtuoso vocal performance that rightly take centre stage.

Frankie Feliciano remixes Sean McCabe feat. Mike City "I Know Someone"

Sean McCabe Feat Mike City - I Know Someone (Feliciano Ricanstruction Radio Edit)

Made up of a deep and voluminous array of remixes, alternative versions and DJ-friendly dubs, 'Re-Vibrations' is Good Vibrations Music's most ambitious release to date. Originally released as a highly limited vinyl double-pack to celebrate Record Store Day 2019, 'Re-Vibrations' is now available in an expanded digital download package featuring additional, previously unheard mixes by Karizma (as Kaytronik), IG Culture, QB Smith and Sean McCabe. 

Sean McCabe: "The story behind how the mix came about was that IG was inspired by the widely loved Frankie Feliciano's remix on "I Know Someone" which came out in May this year, of which he initially did a re-edit using Frankie's keyapella and beats. IG chopped up Frankie's beats into a broken beat style on this version while layering the keyapella over it. IG messaged me on Instagram to let me know he'd done this version (This was the first time we'd ever spoken). I was feeling it instantly and so was Frankie. I asked him if he wanted to do a proper remix if Frankie could send him the stems, so some of the pads and keys you hear in the background came from Frankie's version and the original. This was a last minute addition to the comp, which IG turned around in just a few weeks and I'm very glad that he wanted to be a part of the project."

01 Sean McCabe Classic Mix

So, here is the story: I got the green light from T3 to drop this remix. I waited one year, but we here! I used the original stems to remix this, which is very wild to me. I wanna say thanks to (you know who you are). It's an honor to be able to pay homage to the king. J Dilla

Won't Do (Sango's Michigan Remix)

Bristol-based producer Sean McCabe released his first tracks in 2003 and has since fine-tuned a trademark sound that is effortlessly soulful.

McCabe made his name in house, developing a long-running relationship with legendary US garage label King Street Sounds and remixing the likes of Dennis Ferrer, Evelyn Champagne King, Carolyn Harding, Blaze, and Roland Clark. Since then he’s amassed an impressive discography, delivering inspired productions for labels like Local Talk, Strictly Rhythm, Vega Records, Tribe, and Quantize – plus an original solo album for Z Records.

A quick listen to any of his productions or one of his superb DJ sets will confirm this attractive, emotion-rich aesthetic. While rooted in house, his sound regularly takes on flavours of disco, boogie, Afro, deeper grooves, proto-house, ‘90s garage-house dubs and much more besides.

As an artist, his 2014 debut album entitled ‘It’s Time’ on Z Records displays his musical range and versatile quality production skills. The album hit Number 1 on Traxsource in its first week and has received support from the likes of Solar Radio, Mi-Soul, Kiss FM, and Jazz FM.

As a DJ, he forged a reputation at the legendary Southport Weekender, where he performed regularly. Anyone who can impress the notoriously knowledgeable Southport Weekender crowd must be doing something right. Sean has also travelled the world, playing as far afield as Asia and South Africa, as well as regular appearances across Europe and the UK. Refreshingly, he seems to have no particular aspirations to play in gargantuan clubs, and admits to preferring gigs in small, intimate venues, where he can make a connection with the crowd.

As a producer, McCabe is constantly learning and evolving, taking his sound in different directions. He admits to a love of vintage synthesizers – picked up from listening to classic New York boogie and ‘80s soul. In 2016, Sean continued his musical journey by launching ‘Good Vibrations Music’ record label – a natural evolution of his renowned Good Vibrations events in Bristol.

With a successful album under his belt, his own record label and notable collaborations with the likes of Karizma, Turbojazz, and DJ Spen, his reputation for bringing quality soulful dance music to the masses continues to rise.
