Volume 7 of our ongoing Luv N'Haight Edit Series is our first on a 7 inch and features heavyweight digger, edit-master and producer Kon with his take on Twilight's Modern Soul and Boogie classic "You're In Love". He stays true to the original but packs a bit more punch into the groove while keeping the focus on the catchy vocals and chorus on the A-side, and doing it Dub-style with minimal vocals and plenty of echo on the flip.
2013 was definitely the year of Kon with a remix released in March via On The Prowl's Party Mix Vol.7, his “All About You” EP dropping in May on Soul Clap’s newly formed record label and his first solo all-original album “On My Way” released on BBE this past July. In between studio-work, touring in promotion of his new releases and djing parties as one of the world’s most highly sought-after DJ’s, Kon couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add his name to our growing list of venerated producers that have blessed the Luv N’Haight Edit Series with their work. Supplied with the original stems culled from master tapes provided by Twilight’s own Lawrence Ross, Kon takes full-advantage and crafts a classic remix and dub version of the song guaranteed to get any dancefloor jumping.
With a career spanning decades and first brought to prominence as one half of Kon and Amir and their work on the legendary “Off Track” and “On Track” releases as well as remixes of luminary artists Cerrone, Kool And The Gang, Bee Gees, Slave and Chic amongst many others, has allowed him to transcend his moniker as “King Of Nothing”. Counting noted taste makers such as Gilles Peterson, Danny Krivit, John Morales, Jazzanova and Dam Funk as fans of his work, Kon’s prominence is steadily on the rise with it’s apex still unforeseen on the horizon.
Look for another Twilight remix from Kon on a Twilight Remixes release with Ohmega Watts, Twilight Tone and other surprise producers coming in 2014! |
