Chad North and Aaron Pope have remixed Waveplant & Ernesto’s (I Need A) Bassline and it was just released this Monday on Exceptional Records. Waveplant, aka Joel Corelitz, is the track’s producer from Chicago. Jonatan Bäckelie, aka Ernesto, is a 27-year old Swedish soul singer from Gothenburg. Bassline is the first track to be released from Ernesto’s forthcoming album Ernesto Sings due for release later this year.

Bassline began as a 110 bpm sexy soulful house groove good for shiny people in slinky clothes drinking mojitos. Given Waveplant is based in Chicago (a long time mecca of house music) as a composer and sound designer, we can understand how the two of them would enjoy a collaboration. Listen to the original on the streaming player below courtesy of Exceptional Records on SoundCloud.

Chad North and Aaron Pope were brought into the project because of Joel (Waveplant) and Chad’s prior work together. Chad had remixed Joel’s Get With You and Joel remixed the Chad and Jennifer Paige track 100 Ways. Bassline was featured on NuSkoolBreaks as the first track in a recent unsigned showcase (which has launched more than one producer’s career). Have a listen to their remix on our streaming player.

Chad and Aaron have a decidedly different take on this track; the third release of theirs in June. Its a solid funky breakbeat track with glitched out vocals, choppy beats, and a background hint of retro vocoder effects. Think more prime time Stanton Warrior-esque in a crowded room of heated sexy people pulsing to the beat. From some San Francisco trusted hands, its been getting props from DJs and fans alike.

Get (I Need A) Bassline at iTunes and soon at other locations.
