New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Holmeswood releases "The
Dream Is Today (Vinyl Sunrise Remix)"; a Freestyle Hip-Hop reimagining of his song "The
Dream Is Today" which was the first song written and recorded for his successful 2015 self-titled album "Holmeswood". Originally, "The
Dream Is Today" highlighted an electro-pop sensibility. The "The
Dream Is Today (Vinyl Sunrise Remix)" is reminiscent of 1980's turntablism and the breakdancing scene. The remix features all new vocals with stacked choruses, structured with heavy beats, scratching, modern synths accented with dreamy harps; a little bit
Beastie Boys meets
Macklemore meets The
Weeknd meets Holmeswood. The song is an artist's mantra; awakening from the imagination to seize the day to live our dreams today as echoed in the lyrics ..."sun say's boy, gotta get up and grow, live those big dreams of tomorrow" and further in the pre-chorus..."c'mon, get up a dance, sing that song, take a chance, you got the moves, get up and groove!"
"The
Dream Is Today (Vinyl Sunrise Remix)" follows Holmeswood's "James Dean Remix"
Trilogy (Eden,
Rebel and Giant Remixes). The original recording of "The
Dream Is Today" was co-written and recorded with NYC based British music producer Jamie Muffett. "The
Dream Is Today (Vinyl Sunrise Remix)" was re-arranged and produced by Argentinian pianist / composer / producer Dario Boente (Antonio Sanchez, Ronny Jordan, Fernando Otero, Joshua Thompson,
Pablo Aslan, Mark Whitfield and others); and co-produced by Eric Jayk (Sandra Bernhard's Rock Band and her off-Broadway Show, "Everything Bad, & Beautiful", Wildstreet, Astra The 22s, and others).
