Producer, vocalist SPNCR brings his soulful pop sound to Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’ vocal-led, crossover focused imprint, Emerald City. In This Moment features LA based rapper, Lorde Sanctus and the package receives four high energy, club headed remixes from Mark Jenkyns, Russ Yallop and Andre Salmon.

In The Moment bounds out of the block, an uplifting electro pop track combining SPNCR’s soulful storytelling and a fresh sixteen bars from Lorde Sanctus. ‘I wrote this song 5 years ago and didn’t know if I would ever play it for people. Glad it found the right home with my homies.”

Mark Jenkyns reshapes the original into a bumping, loopy peak-time roller, with layered vocals throughout the middle section to form a seriously techy trip. Russ Yallop supplies a tough, funking house refix, with filtered samples of the original and Lord Sanctus’ vocal snippets scattered around the mix. A punchy bassline leads out Andre Salmon’s twisted deep reimagination. Andre supplies his Raw Mix; a jackin’ beats and bass focused roller. He chops up the vocal to cut between the groove as it ploughs on into the early hours.

SPNCR hails from Los Angeles, he’s a versatile singer/songwriter previously supplying vocals for Lee Foss and Lee Curtiss on Living In The City (Emerald City Music) and Drifting (Repopulate Mars). He makes his solo debut on Emerald City Music with, In This Moment.
