Andy Caldwell – Live Your Life (Fred Everything mix) – Seasons

Teaming up with good friend and accomplished DJ / producer Fred Everything, Andy includes another of his favourite productions onto the CD. Featuring the well-known and unique vocal talent of Gina Rene, ‘Live Your Life’ displays the quality you’d expect from the veteran duo and is a real gem for this 12” sampler.

Andy Caldwell – Face Of Love (The Beard mix) – Inspirit Music

Assuming remix duties for Mr. Caldwell himself, The Beard reshapes Andy’s offbeat rhythms and dynamic bassline of the original into deep 4/4 territory. Underpinned with a simple yet effective rhodes progression, this 12” sampler version incorporates additional synth sweeps and subtle guitar licks over Gina Rene’s poignant vocal.

The Beard – Someday (InSoul Sessions mix) – Inspirit Music

Produced and updated especially for the InSoul compilation, The Beard revisits and reworks the stunning ‘Someday’, his debut track for Inspirit Music. This exclusive remake breathes extra life into the original composition, combining the reflective vocal with his dreamy keys and trademark atmospherics.

Franky Boissy – La Baie De Rio (Andy Caldwell) – L’Amour

Straight out of deepest Dallas comes the breezy ‘La Baie De Rio’ - soon to be released on the up and coming L’Amour Records label. Originally produced by Franky Boissy, Naked Music’s ‘Scuba’ resident, Andy’s mix steps up the pace with its lively beats, vocoded French vocals and irresistible analogue bassline.

B1. Be There (Ska-T & Sombionx Remix)
B2. Be There (Love Dub)

Jamayka’s 4th release is from the highly-respekted and sought-after talents of San Francisco’s very own Kaskade. This bredren seriously came thru with some super-smooth soulful funky grooves on their Jamayka debut ep entitled “The Gift” ep. Also watch out for up-and-coming Chicago producer’s Ska-T & Sombionx, who put their two-funky-cents worth into a remix of “Be There”.

Kaskade has released eps for Om, Naked, Siesta, DoubleDown, etc. We are really hyped to be working with this great production team, and look forward to more Kaskade records on Jamayka in the future. This ep is and will be supported by the likes of Mark Farina, Derrick Carter, Marques Wyatt, Jeno, Roy Davis Jr., Fred Everything, Dizzy, Garth, Jay-J, Jeff Bennett, Ska-T, Hatiras, Lego, Gene Farris, Sombionx, Paul Johnson, DJ Heather, Mazi (aka Audio Soul Project), B. McCarthy, Kiko Navarro, DJ Chus & Ceballos, and many other like minded selekta’s.

The “Original” mix is a tight, soulful, funky number with memorable male vocals and smooth synth lines that keep the floor thirsting for more. The super-fat bassline only lends natural beauty to this, as do the effectively done breakdowns and buildups.

“Late Night Jackin” shows the live instrumental production talents of this super-funky production crew from San Francisco. Tru SF vibes ooze from the this one. Nice chill synth lines w/ live horns make this one a track that rocks in the club and also one that works nicely @ home while you’re stirrin up some wikkid snacks.

The “Ska-T & Sombionx” mix is a more tribal/dj-friendly affair. A deep funky tribal-tech groove chugs strongly with well-placed vocal snips and tight vibraphones The bassline grabs you and never lets go of its funktified grip! Perfect for a more chilled, late-nite affair.

The “Love Dub” mix is a minimally deep, FUNKY, soulful groove vibe with positively nice-n-soothin’ key riddums, solid breakdowns/buildups, and a uphorically tight new vocal line. The super-tight funky bassline keeps-on keeping-on as well True to its laid-back stylee!

The first of two plates to be released (the house mixes - IML006) – brings the talents of US producers Andy Caldwell and Kaskade to the fore on their first ever UK label release, alongside Inspirit’s very own Max ‘Beard’.

Kaskade (Ryan Raddon), fresh from Om Records duty on ‘Sounds of Om vol 3’, opens the proceedings in deep, deep territory. An irresistible rhodes hook and live bass provides the perfect backdrop for Amma to display her remarkable range and depth The simmering sax solo ices the cake.

Having released material on Naked Music and Seasons, Andy Caldwell’s unique production is always big on lush melody, clever bass lines, and intricate drum programming. With ‘On My Own’ Andy ups the tempo combining a funky, organic bassline with smooth Rhodes.

The Beard completes this 3 track slate with his trademark dub mix – taking the finest elements from both tracks and introducing layered pads, effects and vocal snippets in his own inimitable style.
