Get ready to dive into the sun-soaked sounds of ‘Tropical Nites: Ursula 1000 Remix,’ the lead single from Roman Angelos’ highly anticipated EP, ‘Tropical Nites: Remixes and Lost Tracks.’ This vibrant release features an impressive lineup of musicians, including composer Rich Bennett on guitar, Brittany Anjou on vibraphone, Ben Zwerin on bass, and a host of talented artists that bring the project to life: Spencer Cohen on drums, Dennis Boolyoins on percussion, Rose Rutledge on flute, Kai Sandoval on trumpet, Nadav Nirenberg on trombone, and Deidre Rodman-Struck on piano.
The remix EP boasts contributions from renowned remixers such as Ursula 1000, Blake Madden of Hotels, and producer Scott Solter. Additionally, the rarities tracks feature special guests like Frank LoCrasto (known for his work with Cass McCombs and Fruit Bats) and Brazilian vocalist Mari Rosa (of Limoncello fame).
Ursula 1000’s remix of ‘Tropical Nites’ is a sonic escape that perfectly encapsulates the essence of a summer getaway. Opening with the soothing sounds of birds and lush tropical ambiance, the track transitions into a captivating lounge/bossa house vibe, enriched by enchanting female vocal samples and the rhythmic allure of steel drums. This remix strikes a harmonious balance between uplifting energy and serene tranquility, making it an ideal soundtrack for both dancefloors and sophisticated cocktail gatherings.
Rich Bennett, the creative force behind Roman Angelos, shares his admiration for Ursula 1000: “I’ve been a fan of his work since the early 2000s. After completing the ‘Tropical Nites’ LP, he was the first person I wanted to remix one of my tracks. His understanding of this music, combined with his ability to present it in a fresh context, is unparalleled. When I first heard the birds and ambient sounds he incorporated, I knew we had something special.”
‘Tropical Nites: Ursula 1000 Remix’ will be available on vinyl in a limited run of just five lathe records, exclusively at live Roman Angelos shows this fall. Each vinyl sleeve, designed by UK artist MJ Langthorne, is a stunning addition to any collection or the perfect starting point for new vinyl enthusiasts.
Delve into the exotic and wistful world of Roman Angelos, the Brooklyn-based producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, as he continues to explore his passion for the library recordings of the 60s and 70s, muzak, and exotica.
