Who‘s the sun? EP – the good old times of 2000er years
Who’s the sun? EP is a homage to Old-school groovy Vocal House, Future Music of the 2000s and Vienna Style back when music genres like Soul, Jazz, House, Broken Beat, World Music and Samba were molten together to be rolled out on the bouncing dancefloor. A time when no smartphones distracted you from focussing on dancing with your mates to pounding funky beats.
Soulpeeling are presenting a retro Vocal House and Future Music synthesis EP, with collabs with jazz singers BLG (Chicago, USA) and Sue (Vienna, AUT) and a remix by hip hop, soul & jazz producer Josip Klobučar (Zagreb, CRO) to create this unique art brut hand crafted eclectic house music fusion (strictly no AI use here!). At its core, Who’s the Sun? EP is a reminiscence to the early Garden Festival era of the 2000s & 2010s in Croatia, evoking sunsets on the peninsula, shared moments, no backstage barriers, and that feeling of total unity through music. Chatting with Alice Russel or improvising a Beatbox-Singalong with Overproof Soundsystem out of nowhere leaves an impact! Every track of the EP carries the dust, sweat, soul and sun-drenched energy of those years.
Ranging from 123 BPM (Test One) to subtle 130 BPM (Who’s the sun?) along with 115 BPM (To stroll in place / To wander in space (Josip Klobučar Remix)) these tracks are laid back in the spirit and heavy danceable in their core.
‣ „Test One“ takes you directly to the dancefloor after you ‚tested‘ one good hit of that joint being passed around in the sunset. ‚Waiting for the bass to come‘ with BLG‘s impressive Vocal and getting into the groove, while Nikola and Sue offer some backing. And if you ask yourself: Who is BLG? Well if you know, you know!
‣ „Who‘s the sun?“ is a deep vocal house track running at 130 BPM about epic love, just like your heart is beating for the sun in your life. But the track is also about knowing the sun, knowing yourself, and understanding it can burn you. It‘s all high energy however you look at it!
The radio mixes have a modern sounding edge while the original mixes focus on the old style sound-flair.
‣ And do not miss Josip Klobučar‘s „To Wander in Space Remix“ : a bold broken house future music drop and remix of the mysterious track „To stroll in place“ up to unrecognizability.
If this one fits your dancefloor, radio show, blog or playlist, your support means a lot.
