Chaka Khan is back... and Switch is on remix duties!...
‘It’s like sugar - so sweet - good enough - to eat’
Chaka Khan is back! and she’s employed the highly sought after remix services of tastemaker and remix extraordinaire 'Switch' (Dave Taylor) to perform do over duties on this sublime broken beat delivery..
On typically exquisite form, Switch delivers another brilliant remix in a style unique to only the man himself and doing massive credit to re-affirmation and relevancy of long serving soul & disco royalty, Chaka Khan in the process. Great work Dave!
With it’s first drop being London Record store day, vinyl only, strictly limited (just 100 hand numbered copies) affair, exclusivity was the name of the game on for this one with all copies quickly snapped up by those in the know on the day (myself not included.. damm, no copies for sale yet on Discogs…), leaving the rest of us left wondering, when we we see full release of this?!
Preview here... Get on the loud end of this people...
TLDR: Switch...

David Taylor, better known his stage name Switch, is an English DJ, songwriter, sound engineer, and record producer. He is best known for his work with M.I.A.. In the fidget house genre, Switch runs his own music label "Dubsided", as well as the label Counterfeet, established in 2006 with fellow producer Sinden. He has released various singles under his own name, and is also well known for remixing and producing for many major artists. He is a former member of the American electronic dancehall group Major Lazer.
Most notably Switch has worked extensively with fellow British artist M.I.A. co-producing tracks on her albums Arular and Kala. For the latter, he travelled to work with M.I.A. in A. R. Rahman's Panchathan Record Inn and AM Studios and other locations such as Kodambakkam, Chennai and Trinidad and Tobago. He says "When you go somewhere like India, and especially Jamaica, it puts you in a different train of thought, outside your usual working conditions. They use music as their voice; they use it for politics, for religion. So, I think for people that are struggling, they can use it to vent frustrations, or to celebrate.”
