Nostalgia 77 - Simmerdown feat. Josa Peit (Grant Phabao Remix feat. Marco Benevento)
16 February 2012, 01:32
Some of you might remember the reggae remix our resident producer Grant Phabao did on N77's Seven Nation Army cover with Alice Russell… It was high time to try and rework a new Nostalgia 77 track and we had the chance to get a visit from Marco Benevento, one of our favorite keyboards players along with John Medeski and Jackie Mittoo. Well you put musicians in a studio, what happens? They play together, so Marco ended playing organ and then clavinet for a reggae remix of Simmerdown Phabao was working on... You won't hear this kind of artists combination anywhere else so we hope you'll enjoy the unique groove & spirit in there.

Kinny – aka Caitlin Simpson – was born and raised in Canada and has a mixture of Jamaican, Native Canadian Indian, French and Swedish heritage. She sings jazz, reggae and soul for Brighton's Tru Thoughts label, on which she released two albums. Here's Kinny and Grant Phabao virtual meeting, featuring the songstress' unique soulful vocals (taken from the a capella version of Forgetting To Remember), drenched into Jamaican roots grooves courtesy of the one and only french dubmeister. Play it... and then play it again - this is music that doesn't age!

This EP's final track takes the ear in a distinctly different direction. This is the exclusive Grant Phabao remix of Nostalgia 77's take on "Seven Nation Army" featuring the mighty vocals of Alice Russell. The inspired hit is given a reggae makeover here yet retains its irresistible appeal to those bluesy jazz enthusiasts who went wild for this cover version "first" time around.

Grant Phabao picked into some Tru Thoughts vinyls and found out Alice Russell acapellas were available. Bim bam! Digitalized into WAV files, riddim-ized into skanking beats and one drop grooves, 3 more remixes happened quite fast.... The Tru Thoughts crew loved those Grant Phabao reggae remixes too and will be releasing them on a "Shapes EP" 12 inch and on a "Shapes compilation" CD later on!
