[Premiere] Alexia Coley – Beautiful Waste Of Time (Smoove Remix)

Future classic in the making here with Alexia Coley laying down her sublime vocals on another Soul/Funk monster. Her original is beautiful slice of Motown inspired laid back funk that will find favour with new fans and old alike.  We have the premiere of the Smoove remix to bring to you today and boy does he do good! Smoove has to be one of the busiest funksters in the whole of the scene and really adds his shine to an already quality track. Bringing the drums to the forefront with a heavy hitting, funked up rhythms he creates a more dancefloor lead version which will definitely be doing damage around this years festivals.

Press Release

“Alexia Coley is a girl who has been preparing her whole life for what 2014 has to offer. Her background as a big band jazz singer and then as lead singer for West London crew The Rotten Hill Gang has prepared her for the big stage and when opportunity knocks she always answers.

Her debut single on Jalapeno “Keep The Faith” gained Alexia a lot of attention both at home where Craig Charles on 6 Music and Robert Elms on BBC London were big fans supporting the single on their shows – and abroad where Italy in particular needed no persuasion to get Alexia on the national airwaves.

Beautiful Waste Of Time was co-written with former Rotten Hill bandmates Gary McPherson and Andre Shapps. Their previous band Big Audio was led by Mick Jones from The Clash and in early live incarnations Alexia found herself singing the song with Mick on guitar.

The song was never committed to record and so with her old bandmates support Alexia re-recorded the single with her current band and with producer Dr. Rubberfunk on mixing duties made it her own.

Her music has a classic soul and jazz vibe but with the edge of a girl who has grown up round Ladbroke Grove and seen what effect modern day London has on people. Her songs are timeless but still relate to kids growing up right now and she can just as often be found sandwiched between a rapper and a DJ on the bill as a line-up of jazz players at Ronnie Scotts.

Label mate Smoove puts the drums to the front for a dancefloor friendly remix that will be tearing up clubs and festivals all summer long.”
