Although summer's long gone Brooklyn's foremost outernational 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.

"Sun People Remixed" is released Digitally on December 16, 2009 and on CD January 19, 2010 through ESL Music

Urbnet Magazine Review of Sun People

Having been used to more eclectic trip hop and down tempo vibes from Nickodemus I was glad to be greeted to an album full of different musical genres. It covers a wide range of soul/afro funk, hip house, Latin and dub plus some eastern influences. Starting off is the title track with an homage to the afro sound. The vocal and instruments welcome what you are about to embark on. "Sun Children" belts out a party styled hip house groove with vocals from the Real Live Show. The melding of hip hop vocals and a up-tempo house vibe is a perfect way to get up and go. The next few tracks delve into a funky Latin soul feel with some dub influences. The energy is minimal but you can hear the vocals take over in the "Love Feeling" from Brian J from the Pimps of Joytime. From mid way some of the tracks carry a eastern vibe that is very refreshing. It would seem most of the time tracks like that have the basic elements but Nickodemus adds a certain flare that most artists don’t seem to incorporate if they are genre skipping in their productions. The magic here is the amalgamation of electronic beats and sounds that cover the full spectrum of the track even subtle background noises. It’s no wonder Nickodemus productions are fluid and tight. Ending off we get greeted to a dub style track on "N’Dini" with Ismael Kouyate belting out a conventional vocal and being accompanied by a group of horn players and a gracious helping of traditional drumming. With so many changes in the styles of music it’s good to hear Nickodemus rise above a lot of other artists to create Sun People that can be enjoyed by so many different people.
