Australia’s Motive Records give Sonic Soul Orchestra & Daniel Thomas’ ‘Wake Up’, a cool make-over, enlisting the remix talents of UK producer Risk Assessment and Italy’s Raffaele Ciavolino, who each put their own unique stamp on the song. Risk Assessment delivers one of his signature soulful grooves, armed with a potent 90’s vibe that builds momentum and energy, and injecting a punchy new hook whilst getting playful with Daniel’s vocals. Raffaele Ciavolino goes for a stripped-down deeper mood, with a spacious affair peppered with atmospheric synth stabs and underpinned by lush warm groove, rounding off yet another mighty fine release for Motive Records!
