EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Cortney Tidwell - Watusii (Simon Baker Remix)
While most folks rightly associate Cortney Tidwell with rock and folk, she has a surprising following among dance music fans well. That's in no small part because of a sprawling Ewan Pearson remix of her song "Don't Let Stars Keep Us Tangled Up." She also lent her voice to a track on deep house producer Sideshow's recent album, reigniting her following on dance floors. But if one track keeps the fire burning, it'll be Simon Baker's remix of her raucous tune "Watusii." Stringing together beads of sampled tones into a tense new melody, Baker jaunty tech-house beat keeps things light and bouncing. Although Tidwell is largely kept in the background, her concerned vocals dominate the beatless middle minute before receding into the background again. If rock and folk is Cortney Tidwell's day job, the club scene is always happy to have her moonlight with friends like Simon Baker in tow.
