about

Oakland duo Brijean extend the relaxed reverie of their 2021 Ghostly International debut with a quartet of remixes from DRAMA, Buscabulla, Sam Gendel and Rick Wade. Brijean Murphy and Doug Stuart’s deep roots in jazz, pop, electronic and Latin spheres inform the music they make as Brijean, and these influences are reflected in the diverse group of remixers they tapped for this project. Rhythm is the driving force of Feelings; each featured remix plays with that force, adding, subtracting, and altering percussive elements to build a range of sonic environments — true to Brijean's mission of encouraging uninhibited imagination and new possibilities.

Detroit underground deep house legend Rick Wade, fresh off his 12” on Spectral Sound, brings "Day Dreaming" out of the haze, landing it squarely on the dance floor. Drums punch throughout, with feathery pads and Brijean Murphy's airy croon floating above the kick-heavy mix; a joyous, celestial edit.

Chicago's DRAMA underscore the disco shuffle of "Hey Boy," lending a funkier dance structure complete with shakers and call and response shouts ("Hey! Hey Boy!"). Brijean consider the original a "psychedelic guide — the exploration of finding what feels good — through sorrow, anxiety, apathy." DRAMA's take doubles down on the good times.

Puerto Rican synth-pop duo Buscabulla (Ribbon Music) accentuate the percussive downtempo flair of "Moody." Keeping Brijean Murphy's stream-of-consciousness lyrics at the forefront, the polyrhythmic percussion is sparing and, well, moody. Sprinkles of subtle yelps, harp flutters, gauzy synths, and sinuous synth grooves give this rework a unique neo-tropicalia vibe.

LA-based experimental jazz musician Sam Gendel (a rising star following releases on Nonesuch, Terrible, and Leaving Records) reimagines one of Feelings' most serene stretches. "Ocean" bops askew, departing the original’s soothing sea for something more deconstructed and peculiar. Gendel's warbly organ lines, wiggly synths, and charmingly disjointed stylings bounce in and out of step with the percussion, which dissolves for a minute near the end before returning for one last waltz.
