A Reason To Dance
On the latest Bogota Records release, longtime label collaborator Usmev joins forces with vocalist Camilla Luna for an evocative two-tracker that also features an upfront remix by none other than Johnny Fiasco. A conservatory-trained pianist and guitarist, Usmev is no stranger to Bogota having appeared on the imprint's debut release, 'Themes'. Uruguayan-Norwegian vocalist Camilla Luna is known as one-half of Luna & Bazis on WahWah45s and vocalist for Trulz & Robin's releases on Eskimo and Dance Disorder's 'Metallic Italic' (Bpitch Control). With 'You'll Find Your Reason To Dance' Camilla is heard for the first time on Bogota, accompanying the warm, deep house tones found in Usmev's production. The sound is underground and somewhat cavernous, imagining hazy late nights and dreamy excursions. Camilla's vocals are layered and effected, simultaneously soulful and enigmatic. The b-side, 'Maybe This Is Love', is a comparatively uptempo affair with a more refined drum track and vocal line in the midst of shimmering chords. Camilla's vocal performance is especially intoxicating here. As a bonus, Chicago legend Johnny Fiasco is on board with another in his stream of masterfully club-primed remixes (and his second for Bogota Records). 'You'll Find Your Reason To Dance' is given extra momentum, as the bass line is moved the fore and the rhythm track gets a dose of Chi-town floor funk. These three cuts, also available on 12" vinyl, continue Bogota Records' run of distinctive high-quality singles.
