Release date: 1st April, 2022
Ramrock Red Records are delighted to be releasing this outstanding remix EP ‘Uptown Bridges’ from Edinburgh’s very own Movers International. Executive producer of the original version of ‘Uptown Bridges’, Joseph Malik , took the track from his ‘Stranger Things’ collaborative LP and handed it over to Gavin and James to rework in their inimitable Movers International style. The result is a beautiful afro futurist remix with wonderful psychedelic dance overtones featuring the brooding vocals of Einstein Madiro, Paulo Riddle’s intricate percussion, Steven Christie’s keyboards weaving into the composition and the compelling horns of Chris Greive and Colin Steele. As is often the case at Ramrock Records, the infamous yet elusive D.Foe heard the track and said that they’d love to remix the remix, adding their signature dance chaos to the already brilliant track. Finally, James and Gavin join forces with ‘bone maestro, Chris Greive to revisit their track, ‘Lip Bam (Revisited)’, changing up the mood to a slightly sinister, acidic, cinematic instrumental. Forming Movers International has been the perfect opportunity for the duo to explore a more organic recording style, compared to the techno roots of Main Ingredient. Working with a horn section, guitars, vocals and a live percussionist, this solid platform of musicality forms the basis of their debut ‘Uptown Bridges’ EP – available on Bandcamp. Watch out for Movers International on Joseph Malik’s forthcoming ‘Diverse Pt.3’ remix EP……
