Chicago’s own Ron Carroll is coming off a collaboration with Hot Since 82 on Defected Records to rejoin Carrillo Music‘s Rod Carrillo following their global success via ‘Get Up’ to bring the club alive with ‘Lifted in Sound,’ a record that holds warmly true to it’s title. The longtime studio mates release a few necessary versions of the peace blasting, soulful house production to suit any occasion, first their original club mix then venturing into remixes by Knox, Kebab & Cream (Club Mix), Elliott Holloway and Mo C (Tulum Mix).
Then Carrillo Music shines light on the Nashville-based sensation, Knox as he explores beyond his viral alternative-rock releases to appear on two edits of ‘Lifted by Sound’, a club and dub mix. Knox‘s club mix gets down with a fresh funk bridge, higher notes and overall smooth feel, while the dub mix crashes with splashy symbols, brings the synths into focus and keeps it hush on the vocals.
Closing this funk party out is a Carrillo Music discovery, Elliott Holloway, who shares his inspiration from Madrid to lift ‘Lifted in Sound’ to a whole new level with a bouncier, warehouse-ready version.
