ClassicBeatz - Ntale's Groove (The Remixes)


Last Friday, my dude ClassicBeatz dropped his latest project - a remix of four tracks from the awesome, Ntale's Groove. Classic and I spoke about the remix project during an episode of WSLE Soundscape Radio. He mentioned how the 4 producers, Barbera (Brazil), Mister Critical (Belgium), Strand (Brussels) & Jay Hats (Netherlands) all did an excellent job with creating a new sound for the tracks they remixed. I have to say, I agree. I like them all, but my favorite has to be Jay Hats remix of The Nigerian High Life. The drum and bass vibe he creates really stands out  and gives the track the opportunity to rock in the club. The album is a free download, so head on over to Classics bandcamp and get yours.

ClassicBeatz - In The Currency of Love ft. Lisa Preston


Laid Back Radio is set to drop a 15 track compilation from various artists they've been working with since 2002. Due out June 10th, "In The Currency of Love" is the second track featured from the project, and it's a soothing reggae influeced jam produced by ClassicBeatz out of Brooklyn, NY and sung by Wellington, New Zealand vocalist, Lisa Preston. I love how Lisa's angelic voice carress the tone of Classic's beatifully arrange composition. This is the type of joint you just unwind to. The digital edition will be available mid-June on laidback.bandcamp.com. Pre-orders (until the 15th of May) on Indiegogo.com.
