Electronic artist and vocalist ill-esha also lends her talents along with Bristol piano virtuoso Silvertortoise and London producer Rhythm Love.
Summer is Calling is inspired by classic uplifting soul and house like Al Green ‘Take Me to the River’, Joe Smooth ‘Promised Land’ and even Coldcut produced Yazz ‘The Only Way is Up’. It is a love song but not about romantic love, more about the love of friends and freedom. Inspired by the yearning to be with our friends and family IRL and the hope that Summer, a season for manifestation and celebration, will be that time.
Coldcut's Matt Black has taken a tender hammer to the original tune for the live mixdown Summer Dub 7, overdriving his trademark Zen Delay and leaving only fragments dangling from a torn web of lush brutality.
The artwork is a lithograph entitled ‘Summer’s Eye’ by Matt Black’s late father Stephen Cohn, modified for this remix release.
