Dance music heavyweights, David Morales and Blakkat (Mark Bell), join forces on the stunning new single, ‘Second Chance’. Taken from David Morales’ ‘Life Is A Song’ album from 2022, ‘Second Chance’ gets its own single release featuring some powerful new re-vibes from the maestro himself.
David Morales is a globally revered American DJ, Grammy award-winning record producer, songwriter, and is a true house music legend. He has produced and remixed over 1000+ records for an all-star roster of multi-platinum artists, including Mariah Carey, U2, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Madonna, and Whitney Houston. Launched in 2018, David Morales’ DIRIDIM label beams quality house music. Aside of David’s own productions and collaborations, DIRIDIM also features releases from artists including Róisín Murphy, DJ Meme, Danism & Train, Buranello, Timmy Regisford, Michel Cleis, Janice Robinson, Frankie Ferrara, James Deron and many more.
L.A based Blakkat, AKA Mark Bell, has added his golden touch to both major labels and the cool underground, and also runs his own label Shaboom. As original member of multi-platinum selling Mercury Prize winners M People, Mark Bell was signed as a solo artist to Atlantic Records, Hollywood Records, Warners, BMG and Sony. Mark has been a featured vocalist for King Britt’s Sylk 130 Project, Funk D’ Void and also released on Josh Wink’s Ovum label. Mark’s catalogue of music includes Felix Da Housecat, Josh Wink, DJ Sneak and Marshall Jefferson, while Chez Damier, Zero 7, Jamiroquai, Wyclef Jean, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Jungle Brothers have all received his remix treatment. Blakkat’s own productions have been remixed by David Morales, Basement Jaxx, KINK, Todd Terry, Steve Bug and Armand Van Helden.
David Morales’ original and extended mixes of ‘Second Chance’ come powered by a melancholy steeped percussive groove, layered with dreamy piano melodies and sweeping strings, as Blakkat provides an emotive ethereal vocal drenched in soul, that beautifully pirouettes around the music. Fresh for 2024, David Morales turns on his Red Zone charm, offering several new mixes for the late-night parties, including a hypnotic Reprise that’s armed with a spacious potent groove that’s teased with menacing synths and stirring breakdowns. Taking things deeper still, David delivers a spellbinding Zone Vocal Remix and Instrumental, where his dramatic electro-cinematic soundscapes come wrapped in Blakkat’s dreamy tones on this dynamic release for DIRIDIM.
We are presenting David Morales’ Reprise of ‘Second Chance’.
‘Second Chance Remixes’ EP will be available after the 13th of December.
