Description
NDATL continues with new remixes crafted by label head Kai Alce of ‘Sacrifice’, produced by House Music Legends Larry Heard featuring Robert Owens on vocals.
Larry Heard and Robert Owens have not recorded together in more than a decade following the release of countless classics such as ‘Bring Down the Walls’, ‘I’m Strong’ and ‘Mysteries of Love’.
After hearing Sacrifice when Larry stopped by the NDATL studio, KZR was compelled to remix the song, and was quickly given the green light to put it out.
First up, we have the US remixes, kicking off with organically banging percussion, which is soon accompanied by Richard Coley’s melodic sensibilities on keyboards for a combination guaranteed to put house heads in the zone. The dub chops the warm chords, with some added snares to give pure hypnotic breakdown.
The UK remix renders the song to it’s essential elements, stripping the percussion, and letting the soulful strong vocals by Owens take centre stage. Here Simbad of Raw Fusion fame joins Mr Alce in the studio dropping a driving bass heavy analogue groove, to get some butts shaking. Rounding off the B side is the US remix instrumental.
Mint copies of this gem are getting pretty scarce now. Don’t sleep!
