Santiago’s take on Bone’s classic ‘Music’ speech is another that ignores the bogus boundaries which have been imposed on slightly divergent forms of electronic music which all emanate from the same feeling; The Love for the MUSIC, for DANCING, and for the SOUL which they embody and express. So instead of divergent the word “adaptation” is one that better conveys the direction in which Santiago takes his remix. Alternatively dark or uplifting, this slice of Electric Soul moves to its own 909 driven electro beat with a funky swagger. Soaring strings, radiant melodies, and a 303 acid line that rises, falls, and morphs, offer a chance for old-school reflection in their almost dream-like composition. However, this is not just another nostalgia trip. This not a “pre-packaged”, “watered down” “gimmick”. What Santiago creates is a spell-binding, modern expression of the spirit of innovation, survival, and rebirth that characterizes Detroit, its people, and its soul.
