Alexis Blair Penney 'Lonely Sea (Emotion II Emotion Remix)'

Reeeemix

Miracles Club and Finesse get international makeovers today and they are looking fyne!

The first of which is The Whendays heady take on "The Light of Love".
The Whendays are a half Swedish half American duo based out of Stockholm that are making beautiful pop music that sounds to me lie somewhere between The Stone Roses and Al B Sure. Their take on "Light of Love" is a deep and provocative take on thee Original.
Check it.



Next is Prague's Sasha Nevolin and his DEEEEP remix of Finesse's "Elevate". Sasha tastefully strips "Elevate" down even further to just the bare necessities where he finds a hypnotic groove and rides it in to the sunrise. LOVE.

Finesse - Elevate from Experimental 1/2 Hour on Vimeo.

"a lovely slice of smooth jacking wobble involving crew from Miracles Club and former Glass Candy. Elevate, the title track in their 12’’ in Ecstasy blasts us from the now like some lost transmission from 102.7 FM WBMX. Alchemical proficiency can’t be faked, all the elements are there and the right reaction ensues: muscles flex, a sequined dress rides up percolating hips, eyes roll, dance down a road to illumination signposted by erotic holograms."

For this long awaited debut 12" from FINESSE, Susan and Avalon teamed up with Rafael Fauria of Miracles Club, and your friends at Ecstasy, to bring you a striking and memorable underground House offering. With a flattering nod from 20 Jazz Funk Greats, the 12" vinyl will be available for purchase here [click the link on the right of this page to order]. You can also purchase digitally on iTunes.

Features the two jackin' Finesse tracks "Elevate" and "Believe" along with the dance floor ready "Lifted Mix" from Jason Kendig (Mr. International) that will send shivers down your spine, plus an expansive remix of "Believe" by our favorite West Coast morning star, C.L.A.W.S. (Bar25, liftyourheadup)

Don't miss the record release party in Portland at Valentines this Friday, with a screening of the music video!
