Buoyed by the success of the Matt Warren’s critically acclaimed Nu-House classic, Music Is My Life, Wake Up! Music’s founder and creative director MyMy Lady G aka House vocalist Pepper Gomez,
decided that the Chicago-Miami based label’s next project would be an
album of remixes. This, she decided wasn’t going to be just another
remix album.
Instead, some of the world’s top DJs were invited to
remix a track from Music Is My Life. Calls went out to the legendary
John Morales, Brooklyn’s very own DJ Spinna, international man of
mystery Al Kent, and the Chicago-based triumvirate of Ralphi Rosario, DJ
Lil Tal and Marcus Mixx. They were joined by Texan DJ “That Dude Dom”
Dominic Sustaita as well as up-and-coming DJs James Flowers and Michael
A. Garza. These nine DJs play a starring role on Wake Up! Music Remixes
DJ Wall Of Sound Volume 1: Matt Warren’s Music Is My Life, which is the
first installment in a new and exciting series of Nu-Music from Wake Up!
Music which is sure to become the fuel of the parties, dance floors and
lives of DJs, dancers and music fans the world over.
The ten
remixes find the nine DJs at the top of their game, breathing new life
into the tracks on Music Is My Life. Opening Wake Up! Music Remixes DJ
Wall Of Sound Volume 1: Matt Warren’s Music Is My Life is Ralphi Rosario
a recent convert to NuHouse, who teases the listener with his Big Love
Radio Remix of How Do I Love Thee that features a coquettish vocal from
the legendary house diva Pepper Gomez. After that, it’s time for take
off, and the DJ Spinna Galactic Soul Remix of The Way to My Heart,
before disco meets house on what’s an amazing remix from New York’s very
own John Morales. The John Morales M+M Mix once again finds Pepper
Gomez’s vocal plays a starring role on a track that was one of the
highlights of Music Is My upon its release.
Get On Up which
topped the DRT Indie Charts in December 2018, is reinvented on the Thank
God It’s Tal Remix which is oh so funky, and dancefloor friendly. So is
the That Dude Dom Club Mix of Going Deeper which is a call to dance,
just like the James Flowers Remix of Musica Es Mi Vida.
The
Marcus Mixx Remix of Bang The Box brings back memories of the Acid House
days, and convoys of cars trapping round the countryside looking for a
likely venue for a rave. Adding a Latin flavour is Michael A Garza’s
Deep Future Mix Extended, before the Al Kent Mix of Sometimes finds
Scotland’s disco king showing his versatility with a trancey, lysergic
and very Nu sounding track. Bookending the album is Ralphi Rosario’s
anthemic Big Love Remix of How Do I Love Thee, which is a guaranteed
floorfiller and future favourite of dancers everywhere.

Up! Music Remixes DJ Wall Of Sound Volume 1: Matt Warren’s Music Is My
Life will be on sale in all good record shops and is the only remix
