CANDY TALK Records 29th release reworks “When the World Is Running Down”This single is taken from Colette's upcoming album, “Flashback” and enlists the West Coast deep house master and Shifted Music label owner, Jay-J. Known for his signature Funky House sound on labels such as Defected, OM, Naked Music, and Moulton Studios, Jay-J is brought in to remix Colette’s pristine vocals and delivers two stunning mixes of “When the World Is Running Down” for Candy Talk Records. A multi-genre artist specializing in Nu-Disco, House Music and Hip-Hop-inspired Downtempo, Jay-J creates a dramatic landscape of synthetic groove with his take on Colette’s cover. His “Jay-J's Shifted Up Mix” kicks off with straightforward drum programming that gets filled out with a funky low-end bassline sequence. Jay-J's "Shifted Up Dub” sees him keeping the same aesthetic with its dubbed-out bassline motive and its syncopated synth chords, but replacing the main vocal gestures with tape-delayed vocal loops. This dub mix fits perfectly on those late-night celestial dance floors of deeper grooves. LISTEN NOW & enjoy!
