Upcoming Release: Have Mercy (The 83rd Remix) – The 83rd

Have Mercy The 83th

Brooklyn-based record producer THE 83rd gets ready to drop a stirring remix of Eryn Allen Kane’s soulful yet minimalist track Have Mercy next month.

The rework opens with beautifully layered vocals which echo hauntingly into the resonant soundscapes and as with the original track,  Eryn’s soulful vocals take centre stage. In its focused minimalism it drips with sonic emotion, bringing a new depth to an already striking track.

The accomplished producer, real name Will McNair, has produced for Cheryl Cole as well as produced, engineered and mixed Angel Haze’s hugely influential New York’ which received praise from  The Guardian, Pitchfork, and VICE. He has been commissioned to make remixes for Missy Elliott and Mariah Carey, whilst his rework of Tinashe’s ‘Boss’ featured on a collaborative remix EP with Giraffage and Ryan Hemsworth.

As one half of electronic production duo Chopstix with Ski Beatz, who has worked with international stars including hip-hop heavyweights Mos Def, Wiz Khalifa and Jay Z, THE 83rd has also produced and remixed tracks by Nicole Wray, Cam’ron and Locksmith.

The remix Eryn’s Have Mercy is out on 12th February….for now, have a sample – it would be a crying shame to pass up on this epic track!

New Music Video: Where Are We – Manze Raider (ft. Ruell)

Following the release of track Where Are We,  MANZE RAIDER has dropped a striking music video this week. The single is from his upcoming debut EP of the same name.

Expecting to drop 6th November, the E.P features two tracks (Where Are We and Delilah) where the Sheffield-born producer/artist creates a vibe that has flashbacks to 90’s raves in the warehouses of Sheffield, mixed with futuristic soul; an eclectic mix that is a cross between old school greats like Shy FX and Goldie and new school kids like Chase n Status, mixed with a sprinkling of electronic synths reminiscent of the Prodigy.

Where Are We takes a soulful stance with a deeper lyrical content from Ruell over a chilled D&B beat. In contrast to the energetic Delilah, Where Are We displays Raider’s ability to capture a more haunting ambience through varying uses of syncopated drum beats and acoustic instrumentation.

Where Are We EP is now available to pre-order on iTunes.
