The Groove, The Gang, and The Chill Rework
So, what’s “This Side (Remix by Roane Namuh)” bringing to the table? It’s a smooth, soulful ride—starting with that classic house beat, all warm kicks and crisp hi-hats, layered with deep house textures that feel like a late-night hug. Roane Namuh, a Portland-based DJ and producer known for his eclectic crates, flips the original into a chill house gem—think mellow basslines, subtle synth washes, and Colonel Red’s poetic vocals floating over it all like a dream. The remix keeps the track’s raw emotion—freedom, liberation, and that gritty soul Inkswel and Red are known for—but dials it down into a laid-back vibe perfect for unwinding or a slow sway. It’s part of their 2024 Joy project on Liquid Beat Records, and this rework’s a standout.
Colonel Red’s been a UK music force since his days as Nikki Romillie with Pride n’ Politix, signed by Sylvia Rhone to Atlantic Records with a Warner Bros. publishing deal. He’s evolved from a neo-soul icon in the 2000s to a self-made artist with his Ink Rebellion label, launched in 2012 with Clio S. Anderaz. His debut Redlight album marked a shift to what he calls “British Urban Soul Rock”—fusing funky rhythms, meaningful lyrics, and a voice that heals. Inkswel, the Aussie beat maestro, brings his MPC-driven flair, honed over decades of genre-blending from hip-hop to house. Together, they’re a soul sonic duo who’ve dropped acclaimed projects like Holders of The Sun and Rainmaker. Roane Namuh, with his deep digs and Liquid Beat cred, adds a Portland chillout spin—think jazzy undertones meets modern house finesse.
House—old-school, deep, and chill—is vibing big in 2025, with fans craving that nostalgic yet fresh sound. “This Side (Remix by Roane Namuh)” fits the bill, blending Colonel Red’s heartfelt delivery with Inkswel’s groove and Roane’s laid-back touch. It’s a track that could light up a cozy lounge or a late-night playlist—pure soul with a danceable edge.
