Adelaide producer & DJ Inkswel introduces ‘New Day,’ a boogie infused disco anthem for dance floors and boom boxes featuring soul legend Kylie Auldist and House Of Beige MC N’fa Jones. New Day is the second single from ‘Chasing Infinity’ by Inkswel’s The Snaglepuss project, a concept LP with a star-studded guest list that takes us on a stylistic journey from hiphop and g-funk to up tempo broken beat, boogie and house.
New Day is the jam of the day at the rollerdisco. Upbeat yet not too fast for the rink - funky boogie bass by Melbourne’s Stephen Lane sets the vibe just right, while hand claps and tight beats take you straight to party mode. ‘We’ve found a better way, it’s a better day’ is the chorus hook sung by Kylie, emphasizing the uplifting and positive nature of the track. We go to the breakdown for N’fa’s iconic rhythmic feel, his verses painting the perfect party scenario. The track is joined by an edit from Slum Village member and Detroit House legend Dez Andrès aka DJ Dez, taking things in a more uptempo house direction.
Adelaide born and raised Inkswel (aka Jules Habib) has spent much of the last two decades in the Northern Hemisphere DJing every party and club from Rhythm Section in London to Output in New York and released music on BBE, Atjazz and Sonar Kollektiv among other labels. On the Snaglepuss material, he’s taken a more collaborative approach and much of this record was co-created with Stephen on bass, Sloth on horns, and Inkswel’s partner Erin Buku. Inkswel and the team’s genre bending productions draw influence from P Funk, 80s Pop, Boogie Funk, Classic 90s Hip hop and Contemporary Soul stitching it all together into a seamless multicoloured package.
New Day is released on French Label Cosmocities Records and is available everywhere on 8th April 2022.
