Artiste: George Duke
Spotlight Track: Rhyme Or Reason (Shelter Anthem Mix)
Label: Fall Out Records

Remixed By : David Lalla

Gong Xi Fa Cai to all the hepcats tuning in to HOT-4-U! This week’s Zao Gng is dedicated to all the valentines in the zone and we would like to wish you all the best in huating for the LOVE! The track in focus for this round is a masterful house remix of a slow number by the king of the bak kwah, Mr. George Duke and his niece Rachelle Ferrell. The original song is called ‘No Rhyme, No Reason’ and David Lalla is the man responsible for this stylin’ Shelter remix. As you will very soon see, Mr. Lalla most definately delivered the goods by not straying too far from the original vibe and maintained the right level of soul at all points… worthy to be tagged a house bomb.

By just inputting some nice relac kinda beats whilst retaining the chops of Mr. Dukey Stick and the steam kering melodies. This remix teaches us that sometimes you don’t need to show too much pattern to make a deep impression. Just like Valentine’s Day I guess, where the norm of roses and chocolate are a bit cannot make it kinda vibes and going over the top may be too much at times. It is perhaps good to be unique and do something simple but meaningful above all.

Anyway, going back to the spotlight, I must say that although simple in it’s re-production, the vibe is full on expensive Manhattan kinda shit. Classy without the designers gear kinda feel and deepness without trying to be cool. So check it out asap and good luck for the rest of the HUAT!

Tangkap This!!!
