KRL – “Remember Donny (Greymatter Remix)”
About KRL’s sound and being a part of Wolf Music:
If I look back over the releases on Wolf Music, the first ones are pretty raw in production/mix terms but I think that was/is part of the appeal for people. I don’t like tracks to be too clean… Developing as an artist is important to keep the interest in production. And it is natural, we all strive to improve in what we do… But being part of the Wolf Music pack really helps development along – tracks from Greymatter and Medlar get better with every release. The artwork improves, the music improves, the promotion improves. Its really inspiring to be part of a team where everyone believes in one goal and are pushing it forward from their own corner. More importantly, its fun.
KRL is all great things packaged into one: house, hip hop, soul, electronica, and Wolf Music. Coming from a background of hip hop in his teenage years, KRL’s sampling methods are evident in his attitude towards dance music. From tracks such as ‘Chase‘ and ‘Machine Code‘, his prominent motif of recycling sounds are reminiscent of turntablism. In this track, he samples the soulful vocals of the great and late Donny Hathaway and injects it with some expressive basslines. Of course, his brother Greymatter had to get his hands on it and turn this track into a raw one with his aesthetics for the nostalgic sounds of classic house. All this family love is manifest in the label and chronicles the successful 5 years of Wolf pack. The remix is free for download in celebration of the industrious record label’s anniversary, so download now!
