Joshua Heath - Copacetic

After successful releases on major dance labels including Salted and Drop Music, Joshua Heath proudly presents the first release from his new label - Golden State Recordings. “Copacetic” is the inaugural release by the boss himself. Featuring all the elements fans love about Heath’s Chuggin’ sound, this production features a groovy live bass line, well placed synths, funky guitar riffs and a catchy vocal hook. The track also features the debut performance by LA lyricist, Louis Hale. With remixes by Jay-J & Neighbour, this package appeals to all dance music fans.

First up, Grammy® nominee Jay-J reworks the track in a minor mode with suspenseful changes in the Hammond b3 organ. With heavy drums, techy rhythmic elements and a deep, bouncing bass line, this remix sets the perfect dark & big room vibe. Rounding out the package is Canadian producer, Matt Dauncey’s (aka Neighbour) sexy, smooth and deep revision of Heath’s Original Mix. A funky rework of the bass line and intricate synth arrangement, coupled with a hint of grit, makes this mix a sure bet to heat up dance floors worldwide.

“Joshua’s OG mix is a funk centipede that I wanna put on the hottest girl on the dancefloor when we play this weekend. I’ll let you know if she screams. I haven’t heard much of Neighbour’s work lately. It’s great to know he’s still a ridiculously talented producer. Homerun again. Bassline and synths = BANANAS as always. Thank you for the music.

- Neighbour

Brilliant re-imaginings of the rhythms, definitely nice work. On the Original, love the added guitars, they really make it full, love the styles employed. On Jay-J’s, the deconstructed drums and the bass line keep it bouncing, definitely love the organ. I like how he treated the vocals, flattered that he gave them that much room in the breakdown. Really diggin’ the gate & effects on the hook, you sound mad cool in all cases Josh. I wasn’t too familiar with Neighbour’s work before this, I’ll be changing that quite quickly because of what I’m hearing! I really like the dropping rhythm and the atmospheric funk feel to it. It definitely rocs, jazzily of course! Love the elements from the Original he brought back, nice touch to round out the set. They really work well together. Phat!”
