Future Soul Records presents… “THE G++DNESS” EP Out Today!
Today, Seattle-based imprint, Future Soul Records releases “THE G++DNESS” EP – a two-headed beat beast that features FSR veterans John Arnold & Jeremy Ellis, with vocals and bass from Detroit frontman Paul Randolph, and their electric cover of Circle City Band’s 1982 classic boogie track, “Magic”, which goes head-to-head with Bugz in the Attic beat prodigy Daz-I-Kue, and the poetic styling’s of LA vocalist Joy Jones, in their rendition of Unlimited Touch’s, “In the Middle.” With a smooth blend of programming, live musical performance and soulful vocals, “THE GOODNESS EP”, will take you back to the “golden age” of dance floor boogie by incorporating elements of house, funk, disco and the many other sounds boogie opened the door to in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.
“In the Middle” features Daz-I-Kue on the beats and boards, with long-time collaborator Joy Jones on vocals, (accompanied by John Arnold, Jeremy Ellis, Amy Arena and K Claude Harris). This tune offers the listener a lively boogie tune that takes you back… just in time to be shifted into the future as Dominic “Domu” Stanton, producer/DJ/remix master, who has announced his exit from the industry after years at the top of the underground production game, provides one of his mini-maximum remixes, listen and love, as this may turn out to be Domu’s official final funky curtain call.
“Magic” features Detroit’s own John Arnold & Jeremy Ellis, both of whom provide not only their solid production skills, but the long-lost art of musicianship with Jeremy on keys, John on guitar and another Detroit special guest, Paul Randolph (a journeyman player, and recent collaborator with Jazzanova) on bass and providing vocals. To round it out, up-start producer, Ezel (Yoruba Records) kicks in with a deep, soulful House remix that doubles as part epilogue to “THE G++DNESS EP” as well as part prelude… A foreshadowing of the good things to come from FSR in the near future.
*Stay tuned for the full length release of “THE G++DNESS” coming out Fall, 2010.*
