Globe trotting radio & club DJ/producer, Jonathan Radford aka Diesler will be familiar to anyone with an ear for top notch production and remix skills.
His brilliant new album ‘Tracks On The Rocks’ on Freestyle Records is a compilation of 14 uber floor filling remixes, either made by or made for Diesler. Deisler is known for his ability to genre cross and on ‘Tracks On The Rocks’ you see the master at work as combines styles ranging from hip hop, afro and jazz, latin to broken beat and funk.
Featured artists include the legendary Cuban Brothers (Sunday Best), The New Mastersounds (One Note/Record Kicks), Kid Kanevil (First Word) and many more! Amongst many treats on this cool collection is Diesler’s own production, 'Revelations' remixed by The Jazz Invaders. The once bouncy disco original is transformed into a sublime dance floor classic, dripping with the trademark contemporary sound of dance floor jazz that the Invaders are known for.
In addition, the up tempo party favourite 'Here We Go' by American producer Ruckus Roboticus is given a sprinkling of Diesler magic on this compilation, taken from the championed debut LP 'Playing With The Scratches' on Grease Records. ‘Tracks On The Rocks' displays some of Diesler's most prolific and diverse remixes onto one complete body of work, his forth CD in 5 years and rather good it is too!
