Synchronised Feels

I am sure you are all aware through my socials that I currently have a new track released. However I feel compelled to put pen to paper and give some back story and words of thanks. I don’t make music very often but once in a while when the mood takes I get creative, sometimes something happens sometimes not. Synchronised Feels was one of those times it happened. I actually created this one over a year ago but felt it lacked something. I looked through some other projects and found some live percussion in a track that myself and Julian Bendall had been working on. It fitted perfectly and gave it that extra edge that was lacking. After checking with Julian that he was OK for me to use it it was game on. Some extra musicality and a top line I felt was required so we reached out to a few people which unfortunately did not hit the mark. I the contacted my friend Jamie 3:26 to see if he had a keyboard player he could recomend. Turns out his studio partner Danou P was available, Jamie hooked me up. Danou after a call did several takes and sounds and absolutely hit the mark. Totally understood the vibe and delivered. The guy is a pro and brilliant to work with. After messing with the parts he supplied in various ways I found a sweet spot and played my version on radio and at a few club nights and it was received well. I had already been working with Lee from HouseHead London so passed it his way and he liked it enough to consider a release. I generally send my work to only a couple of key people, Craig Smith being one of those. He called me to say it had a vibe and he would like to remix it. Of course I have huge respect for Craig so felt very honoured he would ask. Some time passed and Craig sent an early draft. I was blown away by what he did and the energy he injected. he did a few tweaks and additions refining his vision. The end result was stunning! Obviously the label loved it too and we decided to release Craigs mix on its own (My original will come later in the year) Although I knew Craigs mix was special I did not expect a Deep House track to be so well received, multiple charts on Traxsource from the likes of Atjazz, Groove Assassin and Risk Assesment, DJ Mixes etc followed along side Abel, Jamie and of Course Craig all playing it at the Southport Weekender. So as you can see, it took many to create this and would be wrong for me not to credit and give thanks to all those that helped in any way to bring this one to life.

Super proud and grateful for the connection I have made and what they have done!
