After spending most of 2020 putting music out on respected labels like Far Out Recordings, Sonar Kollektiv and Oye Black Label, Croatian producer Jan Kincl is kick starting 2021 with a 4-track EP featuring a remix from Atlanta-based house don Kai Alcé. The record’s coming out in March for Save The Groove, a sublabel of a long-running Neapolitan label Frole Records, who’s artist roster includes Gari Romalis, Norm Talley, Todd Teddy, Rick Wade, Orlando Voorn and many more.
The EP is titled “It’s Been A While” and consists of three original pieces; Jan’s solo produced “Love’s So Far Away”, two featuring a French keyboard player Regis Kattie – “Day By Day” and “Just Stay (Dub)”, and “Just Stay (Kai Alcé Remix)”.
B1 “Just Stay (Kai Alcé Remix)” is a masterful reinterpretation of “Just Stay”, which transforms the otherwise more laidback original into a driving 3am house tune.
