As far I can remember,
Alright was the first track by the incredibly young and über-talented Greenville, South Carolina resident Noah Smith aka
Hard Mix that I stumbled across last year, and his masterful Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell sampling combined with his signature laid back yet irresistibly uplifting beat works instantly blew me away.
Now, West Palm Beach, Florida's Judson Rodgers, better known under his moniker
Sumsun, has taken care of the tune to add some of his distinct flavors of beat driven psychedelia. The outcome is terrific, five minutes of slightly dark, tropicalia-infused séance perfect for slowly moving across the dancefloor in a complete state of trance.
Sumsun's incredible
Samo Milagro tape is still available via
Leaving Records, and Hard Mix' forthcoming split 7 inch with
Star Slinger on
Double Denim is up for
pre-order now.
