fans of joe claussell will know what to expect here - deep
spiritual house music with the emphasis on live instruments and
percussion.
the great thing about a joe claussell remix is that it sounds
like the track hasn't been touched. the in-demand new york
dj/producer and spiritual life label boss - who led the return to
the acoustic roots move in afro-latin house - has made his sizable
rep on funking up tunes discreetly. whereas his remixing
contemporaries seek associations with top-selling celebrities,
claussell puts the music first, turning down huge sums of money in
order to collaborate with artists of substance like cassandra
wilson, nitin sawhney and ronny jordan.
the combination of claussell's unseen-hand approach and his
reluctance to pursue high-profile projects has probably kept him
out of the spotlight, and he couldn't be happier. "when i started
spiritual life, it wasn't cool to use acoustic instruments in
making club tracks -- it definitely didn't get you on magazine
covers. unfortunately, that's what motivates many people making
music these days, but I have no interest in that star trip.
"there's a higher power, a spiritual force, using me as a messenger
to bring people together through music. what motivates me is seeing
a multi-cultural crowd dancing and expressing themselves freely"
