Amsterdam imprint AREA REMOTE specialises in showcasing the latest sounds from abroad - plus welcomes the newest rising stars from Amsterdam. For our 20th release we welcome back Smokin Jo, one of the most talented DJs and producers to emerge from the British dance music scene. Jos undeniable cutting edge sound has carved her a niche in clubland, enabling her to spin around the globe, playing at many of the major clubs.
NATIVE DANCE is a drum thumping, tribal infused techhouse treat. Expressive percussion, muted chants propelled along with powerful snippets from a speech to rally the (clubbing) crowds. Its steeped in world spice to cook any dancefloor.
NOW WHAT is a hard-hitting danceslammer with a pumping bassline and gritty, in-your-face lyrics courtesy of a Latino lady with attitude.
