Description
For his latest trick, Alex “Omar” Smith has crafted a killer new tune out of a distinctive gospel soul sample that he first used on much-played 2004 single “Day”. Serious spotters might point out that “That’s Me” actually uses a wider variety of sampled loops from the same source track, rather than one specific repetitive section, but either way the results are fantastic.
Bumping, distorted, bass-heavy and soulful with more grunt than your average blue movie, the track is a perfect example of how highly effective, life-affirming house music can be made out of the simplest of elements suitably arranged and tweaked. Basically, it’s a jazz-flecked, hands-aloft bumper that will get played at a lot of festivals this summer.
