Samberia feat. Pedro Martins - "Volte" out on Kolonki

15. April 2009

As summer approaches, Kolonki Recordings turn to summer brazilian vibes with this limited edition 10" sold on Juno.co.uk and, in digital format, on Beatport and Traxsource. Produced by Cortes, it features two big names: Pedro Martins, an UK-based brazilian native musician and songwriter who did works with Azymuth, Jazzanova, Bah Samba among others, who co-wrote the song with Peter, sung the lyrics, played some instruments and had a general overview of the project with Peter, and Nick Van Gelder, a former member of Jamiroquai, the man who wrote "Emergency on planet earth" and other songs of the band during its golden years in the mid 90's, who made a fantastic, all live-played remix of the song in the classic space funk style but with a strong brazilian flavor as well.

Moses McClean feat. Rob Burns "Love Thing" including Phil R remix

28. February 2009

Brand new release for Soulstar Records. Pure vocal deephouse! The 12" includes the main mix as well as remixes by Harley&Muscle, Bittersuite and me. I made a classic smooth house remix in old style, focusing on the wonderful vocals and on the rhodes chords progression. Sometimes I listen to it and it reminds me something by Mousse T from the good old days... for example that magic thing which was his remix of Ann Nesby's "Hold On"... Quite few of you will remember that track, but for sure I've been influenced by it! Anyway, so far people seem to like it a lot! Check it out. You can find the 12" and the digital versions practically everywhere.

Dihann Moore "Let's Keep Our Love Alive" out on Kolonki

10. January 2009

It was 1996 when Dihann Moore was performing at BBC on "Top of the pops" singing "Gimme Luv" by Alcatraz. Since then, a lot of live performances and some minor singles with other labels. 15 years after Dihann Moore has evolved, even in the showbiz (he has founded her own entertainment company) and it was a pleasure for me to produce with Peter her comeback single as a solo artist for Kolonki Recordings.

The song was written by me and Erica Occhiello, while the mixes you can find on the 12" single have been done by me (2 mixes, Deep and 80'Funk), The Messenger (very cool deephouse producers from Croatia) and Davidson Ospina.

The digital version of the single is available on Beatport, Traxsource and Juno Digital.
