Renowned New York City house music icon Joaquin Joe Claussell has
embarked on an electrifying project of ecstatic, spiritual club music
with his latest endeavor: a double album worth of reinterpretations of
the music from Italian jazz master Nicola Conte's 2023 album Umoja.
Claussell's collaboration with Nicola Conte and Far Out Recordings helps
mark the label’s 30th anniversary, as Claussell joins fellow producers
such as Theo Parrish, Ron Trent, Kenny Dope and 4hero in remixing music
from the label’s catalogue.
Extending the tracks from Umoja for full length, dance-floor focused
mixes, Claussell has accentuated the original music’s global,
afro-futurist vision with comprehensive rearrangements - featuring
additional percussion, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and drum
programming - excavating the source music and re-recording many of its
parts under the auspices of his Sacred Music & Cosmic Arts banner.
Nicola Conte - Umoja (Joaquin Joe Claussell Sacred Rhythm Music &
Cosmic Arts Remixes) releases on double vinyl LP, CD and digitally on
28th June 2024 on Far Out Recordings.
