This is pioneering music from current and former members of the iconic and legendary funk band Parliament Funkadelic. Detroit Rising is an exciting artist collective created by 10 groove masters. The musicians created a hybrid sound of funk/jazz with injections of soul and hip hop on the 2018 album 'A Cosmic Jazz Funk Adventure'. For this remix release, a handpicked selection of some of the top DJ producers in the UK have been brought together to create a soulful house and nu-jazz hybrid record. Remixes come courtesy of Jimpster, Kaidi Tatham, Sean McCabe of Z Records, and EVM128 of CoOp - with mastering by UK wizard AtJazz. First up, Jimpster remixes the Detroit Rising space opera 'Rocket Love' - showcasing two funk-fused house tracks with guitar licks from Duminie Deporres (Public Enemy) and bass lines courtesy of Kern Brantley (Mary J Blige, Beyonce, Aretha Franklin). The vocal remix is expertly laced with parts of the original P-funk instrumental and hip-hop vocals, with the dreamy Dub version letting that infectious hook and melody hit hard. Next up, Sean McCabe was brought in by Dave Lee of Z records to remix the original Detroit Rising hit 'Little Bit of Love' into a fast-paced dance heater. King of the keys Kaidi Tatham is then welcomed to remix two different Detroit Rising tracks, creating a double dose of signature, broken beat infused cuts. 'Our World' stars P-funk vocalist and keyboard wizard Danny Bedrosian, alongside granddaughter of George Clinton, Tonysha Nelson. The emotive, soulful broken brilliance of 'Peace & Harmony' also gets the Kaidi Tatham treatment, starring Sue Ann Carwell and Steve Boyd (vocalists for Prince and Kool & The Gang respectively). EVM128 of CoOp rounds off the package, presenting a fast futuristic Bruk beat from the romantic Detroit Rising song called 'Gorgeous'.
