  • Urb Magazine Review: "Sun People Remixed"
  • Nickodemus: \" Sun People Remixed\"

    Released by ESL Music

    February brings with it the gloom of winter. The holidays have come and gone, the snow is no longer entertaining or beautiful, an oversized rodent becomes a momentary oracle that will hopefully tell of an end to a season that has overstayed its brief welcome. A musical relief from the doldrums comes from Brooklyn DJ Nickodemus whose cover artwork alone looks as though it could combat a tough case of S.A.D. Nickodemus didn\'t skimp when it came to remixing the songs from his second album, Sun People. By incorporating artists from around the globe Nickodemus has added legitimate world music names to an album with a world music vibe.
    The reworks come from a laundry list of DJs who probably aren’t household names to many, but musical skills obviously mean much more to Nickodemus than namesake. Kush Arora, Christian Prommer, Adham Shaikh, J-Boogie, Tal M Klein and The Spy From Cairo are some of the artists he has recruited to help make an already vibrant and eclectic original release stronger.

    The ever-upbeat disc is an endless stream of optimistic and sunny beats, with each track it’s own sampling of cultures that should clash but instead meld together well. The second track, \"Brookarest (The Pimps of Joytime Remix),\" begins with a French Quarter jazz feel before meandering into what could be best described as a snake charmers lullaby. Pablo Sanchez\'s remix of \"Sun Children (featuring The Real Live Show)\" drops the listener into a urban center, a sweltering summer street corner where old school harmonizing has been traded for hip-hop.

    Every song holds the same type of complexity. The soundtrack perhaps to a day spent wandering through the world’s most diverse marketplace, where each turn finds you facing a new cultural gathering or maybe it’s much closer to home; just a reflection of Nickodemus’ New York City backdrop, a place of equal diversity and the rhythms to match.

  • "Sun People Remixed" Review on Mog.com


  • from the press release:

    Although summer\'s long gone Brooklyn\'s DJ Nickodemus is ready to heat up your soundsystem with Sun People Remixed. As the title suggests, this release brings together some of the world\'s finest and most eclectic remixers for brand new interpretations of original tracks culled from Nickodemus\' critically acclaimed sophomore artist album Sun People.

    Earthrise Soundsystem\'s take on the title track is a tribal moment; packed with West African chants, while The Spy From Cairo brings a deep island reggae sound to \"Just Move Feat Kwasi\" Next, The Pimps of Joytime take Brooklyn & Bucharest on down to the Big Easy with that New Orleans funk groove and both Red Astaire and Tal M Klein lay down a thick layer of funky bass on their interpretations of \"Sun Children\" and \"N\'Dini,\" respectively.

    J Boogie brings a wonderfully warm electronic vibe to the soothing Middle Eastern vocal on \"\"Didibina\" while Swedish producer HIRD (Fever Ray, Little Dragon) brings out a treasure trove of percussion on \"La Lluvia.\" The warehouse doors fly open with techno on Christian Prommer\'s driving and beautiful remix of \"The Love Feeling;\" a proper warm up for Kush Arora\'s bone rattling 2 step crusher on \"2 Sips & Magic.\" A comedown is necessary after that scorcher and Adham Shaikh offers the perfect R&R through his downtempo take on \"WEriseWEfallWerise\" Day turns to evening and the sun sets on this CD with Pablo Sanchez\'s smooth Hip-Hop flavored take on \"Sun Children\" and a gorgeous house remix of \"The Love Feeling\" from SABO feat new vocals from Dario Boente.

    Conceptually, Sun People was built with songs made for people who love the sun, sunshine and brighter days to come. Appropriate, of course, as Nickodemus has made his mark soundtracking NYC summers with his massively popular Turntables On The Hudson live events (More than just 4/4 beats and a night out, Nickodemus is known for adding something a bit more musical and spiritual to the mix at his parties). The original versions were inspired by various people Nickodemus met and places he\'s been, along with his collective feelings of optimism. It\'s these positive sonic vibes from all over the globe that Nickodemus matches with collaborators hailing from destinations including Guinea, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Romania, India, Turkey, United Kingdom and New York City. These are the Sun People.
