Bill Withers, Who Is He (Henrik Schwarz Edit)
House producers are going so deep these days, they’re even working the soul mines. (Going down down down.) Henrik Schwarz follows his most recent edit, a more downtempo remix of an Omar/Stevie Wonder track, with a single that’s thoroughly and unapologetically kinetic. This Bill Withers disco/house rework has that timeless sort of groove that would fit into Larry Levan’s crate just as easily as it would fit into a set by Dixon.
There’s not a lot of fussing around here, just charging dance music. Henrik shakes the simmer out of Withers’ original arrangement, turning aching into anger and disquiet into calamity. The bassline is almost sinister and there’s plenty of percussive details that’ll catch you if you’re listening carefully, but really, the vocal outshines it all. Bill Withers at 125 bpms works. Unbelievably smooth and righteous.
