The Suol mix compilation “Suol Mates” is born and Fritz Kalkbrenner starts this series in 2012 with the first edition!
“Ruby Lee” by Fritz Kalkbrenner is a cover version of the all time classic from Bill Withers. Inspired by the original version Fritz and his buddies replayed the rhodes, strings, bassline and of course re-recorded the vocals.
When Chopstick & Johnjon explained, that all SUOL members are similar to each other and still individual in their own way, they must have meant this kind of track – this is a slower house track that surely will make the audience move on the dancefloor.
I would call “Ruby Lee” a rework, not a cover, because Fritz made a completely new song out of it, sticking to the original, but adding house beats and other elements to the new interpretation – and make it danceable. Perfect for afterhours and open airs.
We have SUOL head honchos Chopstick & Johnjon with an edit of the Henrik Schwarz Remix for “Right In The Dark”.
Fritz wanted Henriks remix on the compilation since day one, but it never really fit … so he asked Chopstick & Johnjon to sit down with the stems and do an exclusive edit. Satisfying not only Fritz but also enthusing Henrik this one made it into a lot of crates around the world already.
This 12″ Includes the two exclusive tracks featured on the mix..
Catchy melody, fun track. The piano and string chords mix well with the house beats and claps and vocals someone did made an effort with track. Perfect for the upcoming summer.
Four out of five stars for rerecording instruments, rerecording vocals for “Ruby Lee”.
