I See You : John Beltran : FFWD05

May 12, 2010 Discography

FastFWD music releases another dope project in “I See You.” Noted songwriter, producer John Beltran never disappoints as he lends airy, sexy vocals to the latest addition to the FastFWD repertoire. “I See You” is a full project, mixed, written, performed and produced by Beltran. The Lansing, Michigan native best known for his earlier techno work with Ubiquity and Om records, stays within that same vein of hard to categorize music yet adds a bouncy soulful vibe over groovy percussions making “I See You” a note worthy track even in its original state.

The sultry NuJazz RMX is smooth enough to serve as background ear libation for the lounge scene or pose as a dominating banger for the club. With a Rhodes solo by fellow Michigan native Jeremy Ellis aka Ayro, this pairing offers a saucy remix not too far removed from the original but kicked up just enough to make it so.

Rob Slac of Om Records and Chillin Music lends his signature sound to the lineup. His RMX takes you on a whimsical journey through sound. Its airy beats and looped hooks is a definite club banger!

Rounding out this collection of remixes is FastFWD music’s own Sandman and Riverside. This rendering offers a different spin from the NuJazz and Rob Slac renditions. Its layered affect builds upon sound adding affect one after another. In the end Sandman and Riverside still maintain the bouncy character of the original version, but with a more relaxed and sultry feel.

Goddess of Groove : Rob Slac feat. Gabriela : FFWD01

Aug 19, 2009 Discography, Podcasts/Downloads

Introducing -- FastFWD -- an Orlando-born and bred music label specializing in deep, broken beat, soulful sounds in house. The debut release features Chillin Music don Rob Slac, known mostly for his moody deep tech-house productions and remixes for his own imprint. Here Rob strikes out with a rhythmic and dreamy midtempo set-stealer featuring warm vocals from collaborator Gabriela. The summery breaks and keys will add spice to any dancefloor.

The first of two remixes is courtesy of our very own Q-Burns Abstract Message who brings down the tempo for a sample-led, crunchy disco groover. Dubby bits and “old school” treatments abound enhanced by some delicious keyboard breakdowns. A gift for the head-nodders.

Rounding out the single is a remix by the FFWD Duo (Sandman & Riverside), known to the inner circle as the “Rhode-Trip Remix”. It’s a dope yet laid back instrumental broken beat version that should hit you like a smooth night cap. Quality all around.
