[WORK IN PROGRESS] Sing, Sing – Timcat feat. Danny Li Hughes & Darmstadt State Orchestra

New Electro Swing Track from Timcat in the Works

Thanks to the Darmstadt State Theatre, for whom I created a house remix of ‘Sing, Sing’ featuring the state orchestra three years ago, I now have permission to produce a real Electro Swing track from the source material. Danny Li Hughes, my friend and colleague who will also sing on the song ‘Sheba’ for my upcoming album, will provide the fresh vocals for the verses. This means that ‚Sing, Sing‘ will be released as a single before my album!

It will take some time to give the original brass recording a higher quality. Since the instruments were not recorded individually, but only in groups, there is some ‘bleeding’ in the recordings. This means that in the recording of the trumpeters, the rest can also be heard, albeit quieter. I’m working diligently on mixing in new sampled horns from my sound library so that the end result feels closer to the ear and more crisp. Meanwhile Danny is working on vocals and new lyric variations.

Keep in touch for the upcoming release, everybody! It’s really happening.

In the meantime, you can fall in love with Danny’s voice. When we first started working on ‘Sheba’, he sent me a demo with guitar and vocals, which I uploaded to SoundCloud for your enjoyment. You will be able to experience the fully produced Electro Swing version of it on the album.

„Sing, sing, sing, sing / Everybody start to sing / Ooh ooh, waah ooh, / Now you′re singin‘ with a swing⁣“
