NICOLA CONTE - Umoja - Joaquin Joe Claussell Sacred Rhythm Music and Cosmic Art Remixes - 2LP - Vinyl [JUN 28]

2LP - Black Vinyl. Joaquin Joe Claussell Sacred Rhythm Music & Cosmic Arts Remixes.   

Renowned New York City house music icon Joaquin Joe Claussell has embarked on an electrifying project of ecstatic, spiritual club music with his latest endeavour: a double album worth of reinterpretations of the music from Italian jazz master Nicola Conte's 2023 album Umoja.

Extending the tracks from Umoja for full length, dancefloor 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 and Cosmic Arts banner.

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.
