1.  Life Is So Beautiful
2. Life Is So Beautiful (Instrumental)

.
Ursula 1000’s fascination with Japan didn’t just stop with his love of Shibuya-kei and its massive influence on his sound's DNA. City Pop, that sub-genre of Japanese music from the late '70s and into the '80s that blended synth pop, soft rock, boogie, and jazz funk is something Ursula truly digs but never explored in his productions … until now. Japan’s Yuuko Sings, who Ursula discovered doing vocals for English art rock group Django Django, is an ideal fit for this collaboration. She’s sung on tracks for anime soundtracks and J-pop, plus she has a killer rap style to boot! "Life Is So Beautiful" is what emerged from this meeting of minds. Wrapped up in a bundle of bossa nova chords, tropical daytime nu disco beats, and that timeless City Pop sheen, Ursula and Yuuko have concocted the perfect summer cocktail. All this song needs is a pineapple wedge and a parasol.

.
Bill Speakman (Rhythm & Culture) – “I have been dying to hear this! The influences listed here blend so seamlessly and it still has that distinct Ursula 1000 vibe. Inspiring and perfectly timed with the recent explosion of interest in City Pop. A favorite for sure.”  
Rory Hoy (Super Hi-Fi) – “This is amazing!”  
Stevie Kotey (Chicken Lips) – “This is superb. Fantastic production.”  
Steve / Fort Knox Five (Fort Knox Recordings) – “A delicious combo of sugary vocals and bubbly beats!”  
Jon Wesley (Music Goes On Radio Show) – “Love it! Ursula always sounds so fresh. Great production, vibes and the tempo is perfect. I'll be playing this a lot.”  
Gina Calicura (KALX 90.7) – “Immediately fell into a state of utter bliss less than halfway through this incredibly inviting track. It got me! The elements all coalesce into a perfect whole… it’s like good medicine! Ursula 1000 has crafted something very powerful here. This track gently - and gorgeously - beckons listeners to drop whatever it is they’re doing and just dance. Cannot wait to spin this on a show. So perfect!”

Life Is So Beautiful

Ursula 1000 feat. Yuuko Sings - Life Is So Beautiful (Insect Queen Music)

Out Now On Insect Queen Music:

1.  Movin' 2 The Sound
2. Movin' 2 The Sound (Acid Jerks Refix)
3. Movin' 2 The Sound (Fort Knox 5 Remix)
4. Movin' 2 The Sound (DJ Absolutely Shit Remix)

.
Ursula 1000 is the alter ego of Alex Gimeno, a producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He has released eight albums and mix sessions that take listeners on a retro-futuristic journey of exotic grooves and electronic disco funk. He has performed in over 30 countries, collaborated with notable artists such as Fred Schneider of The B52s, Lady Bunny, and Puddles Pity Party, and has had his music featured in various TV shows, ads, and even the Olympics.

Now Ursula 1000 pulls out his dusty smiley face shirt from the closet and goes full-on 303 acid house squelch and jacking 808 grooves for this new single. "Movin' 2 The Sound" showcases Ursula 1000's signature exotic dreaminess, with elements of acid house, throbbing sequencers, and pumping hip-house action. The Berlin-based duo Acid Jerks provided the first remix, taking the acid house business to peak-time bliss. Meanwhile, Fort Knox Five, a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene, focused on electro vibes and b-boy action. Finally, Red Laser Records duo Il Bosco & Metrodome, also known as DJ Absolutely Shit, cranked up the bass, bleeps, and breaks to 11, bringing rave-ready, time-stretching, day-glo dancefloor destruction. This whole single's a trip!

.
Tyler Stadius (Deepen) – “Yeah, love this! Never get tired of good acid.”  
Frank Peisker (Bureau45 Agency) – “Killer! The dancefloor will be on fire with this retro electro smasher with a modern twist.”  
Psycho-Jones (Kater Blau) – “This is Ursula 2023. Love it very much.”  
Shan Frenzie (2SER FM) – “Love the funk edge on the acid grooves.”  
BMD (XLNT) – “As expected, Fort Knox 5 have nailed it. Great remix.”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Subspace Radio Show) – “As a big fan of Acid Jerks, I was stoked to receive this. Muscular acid house vibes that transport me back to 86.”

Out Now On Insect Queen Music: 

1. Get Down With Us Tonight
2. Get Down With Us Tonight (Instrumental)

Ursula 1000's latest single, "Get Down With Us Tonight," is a funky, time-bending journey that seamlessly blends the best of the past and future. Released on Insect Queen Music, this two-track offering showcases Ursula's signature style of mixing retro vibes with modern electronic party starters.

"Get Down With Us Tonight," is a showstopper, featuring chunky soul drums, growling Hammond organ riffs, and a rousing horn section that transports listeners back to the golden age of Stax Records. Ursula's incorporation of acid embellishments and cool male vocalese rhythms adds a futuristic twist, making it feel like the 1960s have collided with the 2040s on the dance floor. It's a sexy, irresistible invitation to let loose and do the timewarp again. And, for the DJs, Ursula has included an instrumental version of the track, allowing them to work their magic without the vocal bits.

"Get Down With Us Tonight" is just the beginning of a string of new songs leading up to Ursula's forthcoming album, set to release later this year. As an artist who has consistently pushed boundaries and defied genres, Ursula 1000's latest offering is another shining example of how the producer crafts infectious, dance-floor-ready tunes that span decades and styles. So, put on your go-go boots and get ready to groove – Ursula 1000 is back, and he's bringing the party with him.

Jon Wesley (Insomniac) – “No one does it like Ursula 1000. Love the vibe and those big-ass, booming drums. Can't wait to play it.”  
Umbo (Timewarp Music) – “Loving it! BIG drums and a great funky feeling.”  
Kid Loco (Flor) – “Groovy, groovy and funky.”  
Sneak-E Pete (Blunted Funk) – “Total party rocker. Can’t wait to play this out.”  
Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “Hugely enjoyable.”  
Eric (Mountain Chill Radio) – “I was lost without any recent sounds from Ursula1000's Hammond, until now.”

Bart Ricardo a real music addict ... his profound passion for house music in combination with his technical skills and wide selection of genres soon landed him bookings at parties, major clubs and radio shows. His mixing talent quickly gained support and recognition from iconic house artists. Bart Ricardo notoriously shared many DJ line-ups with the likes of Derrick Carter, DJ Sneak, Gene Farris, Green Velvet, Roy Davis Jr. and many many more …
