Celebrating 5 Years of Lazy Days, Llorca (Art Of Tones) remixes his favourite track from the catalog, Tortured Soul You Found A Way.

For the 5 Years of Lazy Days, we invited 4 of our favorite remixers to revisit a track from the catalog. Exclusive to Traxsource, we have 3 great remixes from Llorca under his much celebrated Art of Tones moniker. His choice was easy, Tortured Soul You Found A Way. For this remix, he turned to his early NYC House influences to give us one of the best Soulful House song we heard in a long time. Timeless and classic. Coming next, we have Ian Pooley, Crazy P and Greg Wilson in the mix!

THE HYPE
Yes, the Nick Jones Experience returns to Nite Grooves after some years of hiatus. It’s lovely to have him back on board for another eclectic set of Soulful/Jazzy House jams entitled the Metamorphasis EP. First up on this collection is “Club Add Theme” which embodies so much atmosphere you’d swear you were at a live jam session. The session continues with “Epidemic of Love” and with its classic chords you’d swear you instantly back when Roy Ayers was…(dare I say) THE SH*T! However, things switch up with “Buttermilk” which is set to a funky 4/4 and chords that remind you of Sunday mass service. To also refresh your mind of the Nick Jones Experience included the ensemble are the classics “Harmonies,” “Playa,” and “Nick’s Theme.” This is definitely a funky and delightful experience you have to add to your Soulful House collection!

Filta Freqz – If There’s Love [random access recordings]

promo cdr


Our beloved masters of resistless funky house grooves – Simon Cortez and Marco Manrique aka Filta Freqz – return with another slammin’ track titled “If there’s love” that reworks a disco classic (to my shame I must admit I’m not remembering the artist or title although its sounds familiar), turning out a mesmerizing track that creates an intense vibe on the dance floor through the funk tinged backing groove and the vintage disco instrumentation sitting on top.
