About This Item
Renowned New York City house music icon Joaquin Joe Claussell has embarked on an electrifying project of ecstatic, spiritual club music with his latest endeavor a double album worth of reinterpretations of the music from Italian jazz master Nicola Conte's 2023 album Umoja. Claussell's collaboration with Nicola Conte and Far Out Recordings helps mark the tag's 30th anniversary, as Claussell joins fellow producers such as Theo Parrish, Ron Trent, Kenny Dope and 4hero in remixing music from the tag's catalogue. Extending the tracks from Umoja for full length, dance-floor focused mixes, Claussell has accentuated the original music's global, afro-futurist vision with comprehensive rearrangements - featuring additional percussion, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and drum programming - excavating the source music and re-recording many of it's parts under the auspices of his Sacred Music & Cosmic Arts banner.
