Louie Vega Remixes Ten City’s 1989 UK Top 10 Classic‘ That’s The Way Love Is’

1989 – The year that birthed the second summer of love, was a fortuitous time for Ten City, as they unleashed their own brand of House music, packed with love and positivity. In the process, they captured the imagination of the nation’s youth and transformed themselves into a household name.

Now almost 25 years later and taken from their forthcoming album, ‘Judgement‘ set for release this summer, they re-release the 1989 classic ‘That’s The Way Love Is’ now including a sensational remix by NYC House legend Louie Vega, arguably one of the best living House DJs on the planet. Out on Ultra Music.

One half of Master at Work and an out and out leader in global dance music, ‘Little ‘Louie Vega as he is affectionately known has painted a Grammy award-winning and 7 time nominee career from a palette mixed with everything from House, Disco, Salsa and Afro-Beat, to Jazz, Hip Hop, Gospel and Soul. It is his ability to evolve alongside the times, distil the current musical landscape through his unique taste and put his own timeless spin on all the music he creates. He is very much one of the most respected and influential DJs of our time.

With Louie Vega & Josh Milan‘s keyboard rework of ‘That’s The Way Love Is‘ they drop a supercharged, high energy, disco version. It is totally authentic sounding, pacey, bursting with bright guitar links, hooky base, melodic piano and anunmistakable trip back to 70’s dancefloors.

He builds in Stingily’s falsetto to maximum effect, giving it a blissful melody. This would not sound out of place in Studio 54 – not surprising as Louie was originally a resident at the infamous party.

The Original ‘That’s The Way Love Is‘ was taken from their debut album, ‘Foundation‘ which was one of a small handful of house albums released in the late 1980’s, that are now regarded as classics of the genre. After a 25-year hiatus Ten City have now returned.

Combining euphoric piano chords, emotion-drenched breakdowns and Lilly’s seductive vocals, ‘Closer’ is a sunkissed banger that has been crafted with summer in mind. Closer follows Sonny’s smash collaboration with Diplo ‘Turn Back Time’, which has racked up over 50-million streams in just 6-months.

Sonny just announced a handful of co-hosted festival shows with Gorgon City branded Back To Love, which will take place in London (Finsbury Park) & Bristol (Greville Smyth Park), selling 18,000 tickets across the 3 x dates. This precedes Sonny’s solo headline tour later this year, which includes Printworks London, which sold out in just 24 hours.

One of the most respected names in dance music, Sonny Fodera has amassed hundreds of millions of streams across his diverse back catalogue and collaborating with scene legends such as MK & Cajmere. His renowned DJ sets have led to sold-out tours in the UK and North America, including headline shows at The Shrine in LA and Avant Gardener in NYC, as well as a summer residency at Ibiza Rocks.

Half Swedish, half English singer-songwriter Lilly Ahlberg first gained attention when she began uploading covers to YouTube aged just 14. Her sound has shifted more towards dance music in recent years and she generated a buzz earlier this year with acclaimed single ‘Young Forever’, produced by Fodera. Described by Lock Magazine as taking “elements of scandi pop and combining them with an infusion of dance traits”, the track has already amassed more than 1 million Spotify streams as Ahlberg’s reputation continues to surge.

UK electronic duo Just Kiddin are best known for their smash ‘Indiana’, a single that has since racked up 25 million Spotify streams. They have also remixed the likes of Usher, Parachute Youth and Theophilus London, released on FFRR, SubSoul and Eton Messy and received BBC Radio 1 support from Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, B.Traits and Rob Da Bank.

Marking Sonny’s debut on the legendary Positiva imprint, ‘Closer’ possesses all the necessary attributes to become the soundtrack to summer 2021.

Blazing a party path across the Caribbean, Holy Ship! has defined and birthed a generation of dance fans and artists, who came of age on the water, and share a common bond that’s spread around the globe.

Following the 2020 debut of resort based Holy Ship! Wrecked in the Dominican Republic, the 2021 edition takes over Hard Rock Riviera Maya Resort on the shores of Mexico for four days of music, activities, and luxe accommodations, December 3-7.

Those who experienced the first Holy Ship! Wrecked, can attest to the party convenience and lavishness of the all-inclusive, full resort takeover. Hard Rock Riviera Maya will bring the concept to new heights with six stage environments including beachfront and club venues, premium 24/7 bars, and a range of activities all within steps of luxury hotel rooms throughout the intimate resort footprint.

The 2021 edition will see Holy Ship! continue to bring artists together across genres and scenes around the globe. Alison Wonderland will make her much anticipated return to the party, celebrated by electronic fans for her unadulterated mixing of styles in high-impact DJ sets. Live improvisation wiz Marc Rebillet will take over the event with his outrageous performance, while Fools Gold boss A-Trak retains his throne as the event’s turntablist extraordinaire. Moody electro-pop icons Madeon and ZHU will also make their return.

All shades of House music will be on display in true Ship fashion, led by global superstar Seth Troxler, fan-favorite and Holy Ship! OG Justin Martin, Repopulate Mars leader Lee Foss, the Desert Hearts crew, deep disco from Folamour and Dirtybird prince Ardalan. Chris Lake is back with a repertoire of classics in tow for his renowned Black Book Records sunrise set.

Bass music will continue its triumph under Carribean skies once again with new-age dubstep king Subtronics, SMOG LA legend 12th Planet, throw-down queen GG Magree, low-end funk lord Boogie T, and beatsmith Charlesthefirst.

As the tides of the global dance sounds ebb and flow, so does Holy Ship!‘s inclusive curation, evident in techno and melodic house’s spotlight at this year’s event. Hard hitting European titan Charlotte De Witte will make her much anticipated debut, leading a welcomed underground invasion. She will be joined in the deep-end by Anjunadeep star Ben Böhmer, Italian Drumcode upstart Enrico Sangiuliano, and forward-thinking tech-house riser Rebuke.

Signature branded parties remain a centerpiece of the Holy Ship! Wrecked experience with blow out soirées from Ardy Pardy, Anjunadeep, Black Book Records, Cyclops Recordings, Desert Hearts, Factory 93 Experience and Repopulate Mars.

The musical journey of Holy Ship! Wrecked will transport fans from sunset to sunrise, flowing between six stage environments from Heaven Beach to the Main Stage, poolside pop ups to the Heaven Club (with a pool in the middle of the dance floor!) and two other late night venues to keep the party going. Plus Shipfam can expect all the extra curricular activities the event is famous for – DJ workshops, beach games, OG Party, and many more surprises captained by fan-favorite artists.

Resort amenities will take their headlining slot too – with nine all-inclusive restaurants, complimentary craft cocktail & tequila bars, twenty-four hour room service, waterpark, zipline, extreme sports and fitness center, making this a truly worry free, action-packed experience. Those looking for R&R can spend the day being pampered at the Spa and Salon or kicking back in their own private hot tub and balcony before getting back out on the dancefloor.

Fans looking to give back can link up with Positive Legacy on humanitarian and environmental efforts. Positive Legacy has made an impact in the Riviera Maya region by providing emergency hunger relief, medical and school supplies, building playgrounds and community gardens, extensive beach cleanups, and improving the infrastructure of the largest turtle sanctuary in the Yucatan. More info to come on this year’s specific programs.

The idyllic locale, massive lineup, and ShipFam community make Holy Ship! one of the best events in the world. Stepping into this wild and wonderful world of mischief makers and wildcards grants unprecedented access to a global network of warmhearted party-starters. Making no distinction between veteran or virgin, fan or artist, Shipfam unites to break down social boundaries and bring the ultimate feel-good vibe to the sunny shores of Mexico.

$99 per person down for fans that book during ShipFam Pre-Sale or Public On Sale (5/11 + 5/12). Holy Ship! also offers a five-month payment plan to spread out the cost of the trip.

Cat Dealers put a spell on listeners with new single ‘Hypnotized’ ft. Amanda Collis

From kicking off the new year with ‘Scars’ (feat. HAVENN) to quality remixes for Lushington’s ‘You Got Me Baby’ and Gryffin’s ‘I Want Love’, Cat Dealers’ 2021 is shaping up quite nicely.

Ever intent on turning the world of dance music on its head, the Brazilian brothers are taking their incredible output to new levels as they issue yet another masterpiece in the form of ‘Hypnotized‘ featuring Dutch vocal starlet Amanda Collis, released on Armada Music.

“It’s 1 o’clock, but we won’t stop – tonight we go all in.” This line from Cat Dealers‘ Euro-styled electro-tech epic is all you need to prepare for impact. Combined with Amanda Collis‘ vocals, XL-sized builds and neon-colored loops, Cat Dealers have a club blockbuster in the palm of their paws.

Cat Dealers: ‘Hypnotized’ is the kind of track that we love working on because the inspiration came in a very natural way. We received the vocals from Jess, a fellow producer and good friend of ours, who said it was just our style. Upon listening, we realized it was more of a pop vocal. Though we hadn’t been into that lately, it brought a lot of feeling, and we thought it was strong and beautiful. We ended up falling in love with it and couldn’t get it out of our heads.

We decided that we needed to use it and finished the song in less than a week. Having so much music to do nowadays, it’s rare when a vocal hits that hard. And when that happens, they are the ones we like producing and releasing the most. It actually skipped the release line too, as we think it’s a better fit to the productions that we’ve been doing recently. We are very happy now that it’s ready; we love this track and are thrilled to be releasing it.”

5 Vital Methods Musicians should use to Reduce Anxiety

By
Andry Bosk
-

As your favorite musician animatedly jumps to the podium, you may never assume that they often experience terrible performance anxiety. All in all, there is nothing unusual about minimal performance anxiety.

However, if it causes depression, severe stage fright, or incomprehension, it can be a major source of alarm. Bear in mind that physical tension plays a major role in escalating anxiety. Thus, if it affects your performance or puts your life at risk, experiment with the effective tactics below.

Adapt Suitable Breathing Techniques

Proper inhalation efficiently transfers oxygen to the muscles, brain, and heart. As oxygen circulates well through the body, it reduces muscle pain, stress, and tension. Altogether, tension causes inadequate inhalation as artists hold their breath during a performance.

A quick remedy to this is to first take note of your normal breathing. That way, it becomes easier to detect when you alter the breathing tempo. During performances, breathe steadily so that your body can relax and give optimal performance.

Regular Hand and Wrist Exercises

Whether practicing on your drums or piano, you need to repeatedly use your fingers and wrists. This may cause numbness, tingling, or stiffness especially if you perform for long durations. Once in a while, stretch out your fingers and rotate the wrists to reduce tension.
In addition, you can curl your hands into a fist several times or rotate your wrist. Finally, place your hand together in a praying pose and stretch the forearms. You can also push them together until you experience a stretching sensation.

Cannabis Therapy

Music and cannabis are a combination that people rarely think about. Thanks to CBD’s influence on dopamine hormone increase in the body, musicians feel more relaxed after regular use. Although there is no documented evidence, regular CBD users report enhanced creativity and calming effects. Most impressive is that musicians can use CBD to stabilize other conditions like insomnia, pain, and joint stiffness.

There are a couple of medical marijuana recommendations in Texas that you should take into consideration. For instance, contact a vetted marijuana specialist to confirm if you need to take CBD products for your anxiety. Upon approval, they can issue you with a medical marijuana card that guarantees safe purchase of CBD products through a stress-free process.

Use Light Weight Instruments

Often, artists stay in one position performing for hours. If they happen to carry a heavy instrument like a guitar, it may cause neck, back, wrist, and shoulder injuries. The first thing you need to confirm is the shape of the instrument in comparison with your stature. Ensure you hire or buy the correct size of the instrument according to your body size.

To make the experience more comfortable you can use straps, seat cushions, or lighter strings. Consult with your music trainer about the best size and duration to play during a performance. If you manage to eliminate tension, you can enjoy honing your skills.

Practice More Often

Regular practice on vocals or instruments helps in minimizing anxiety. Not only does the repetitive process help musicians polish their skills, but also puts them at ease before the audience. With new music trends coming up, artists need to get accustomed to the latest hits. In the process, it makes them pro in the game while reducing stress levels.

Final Word

Despite the flashy lifestyle that musicians lead, it is not always a walk in the park. Remind that behind it all, there are strict deadlines to meet and hectic practice sessions to attend.

For a less strenuous music journey, start a recovering process using the techniques mentioned. Above all, music should cause relaxation and not pain.
