Band & Musician News - Louis Baker releases new Electronic Remixes (Bharu / Borrowed CS)
25 March 2022 - 0 Comments
Nine months after releasing his second EP, Love Levitates, the soulful Wellington, New Zealand-based singer-songwriter Louis Baker unveils two new electronic remixes of the title track from Love Levitates and his pre-album single Overdrive (featuring Kings).
For the remix of Love Levitates, Louis called on his longtime musical collaborator Cory Champion, best known for his dub techno, ambient and deep house productions as Borrowed CS, and his cosmic jazz band project, Clear Path Ensemble. Reimagining the song’s jazzy soul vibe in a sleek club-tempo style, Borrowed CS surrounds Louis's smooth vocals with the glossy shades of 2-step garage and UK funky. In the process, he puts an Antipodean twist on the rich traditions of syncopated UK dance music.
Alongside this, the Overdrive (featuring Kings) remix sees the Auckland keyboardist, beatmaker and producer BHaru (of the Ladi6 band) giving the uptempo boogie bounce of the original song a nocturnal, stripped-down refresh. Setting Louis and Kings vocal performances against screwed-down, syrupy synths and a 4/4 bass bounce, BHaru lets the beat build. After the first chorus, he twists the song into the sort of dynamic synth-funk shapes that brought him to the fold of US super-producer Timbaland’s Beat Club last year.
“I love the flavours that both these guys have. When I thought about getting these tracks remixed it was a no brainer for me. What they both delivered was the artistry and flavour that only Bharu and Borrowed CS could make. I love the sonic colour palettes they find when making music, which are always distinctive and sick to listen to” says Louis on the remixes.
Both remixes will be available via all digital platforms this Friday 25th March, 2022.
