Cevin Fisher – NYC The Party Capital (Takao Sumi remix)

Earlier this year house music legend and New York native Cevin Fisher made his ‘NYC The Party Capital’ acapella available for a production contest.  With the support of DJ Times, Electronic Current, EDM New York, Beat Cue and Nocturnal Times the contest saw enormous amounts of applicants that were eventually narrowed down to four finalists.  The winner was Japan’s Takao Sumi, whose remix received 54,658 of the overall 100,000 votes.

Takao has been spinning for over 15 years, both in Tokyo and globally, and his productions have landed on imprints such as Aenaria Music, TKC Music, Eightball Digital and Monique Music.  Now the winner of the remix contest, his rework is set to drop on Import Tracks later this month.

In his rendition of ‘NYC The Party Capital’ Sumi transforms the original beyond recognition, creating a dark and murky vibe with the help of cavernous percussion, echoing effects and bubbling atmospherics whilst the illustrious vocals operate on top.  This is an absolute 5am warehouse rave track if ever we’ve heard one.

You can add Takao Sumi‘s rework of Cevin Fisher‘s ‘NYC The Party Capital‘ to your collection when it drops on Import Tracks on 26th October.
