Ultra Naté | Alchemy: G.S.T. Reloaded
Blufire / Tommy Boy / Silver Label | August 19, 2008
NEW VIDEO: Ultra Naté’s latest video is “Twisted (Got Me Goin’ Round)” by the brilliant Karl Giant. Produced by Louie Vega, it is the current single (release as 2 separate digital remix packages) from her recent remix/DJ mix 2xCD compilation, “Alchemy: GST Reloaded” (Blufire/Tommy Boy/Silver Label).
“Alchemy: GST Reloaded” is a special, glamorously packaged double-CD, that continues to demonstrate Ultra Naté’s dedication to her fans, the DJs and dancers who’ve sustained her career.
Disc 1 is a set of spanking new–as well as previously unreleased–mixes from her “Grime, Silk & Thunder” album by a posse of the world’s top remixers, among them Bimbo Jones, Kenny Dope, Quentin Harris, Morgan Page, Craig C., Mood II Swing, DJ Spen, TIkaro and DFA. The first single, just released, is the “Automatic 2008 Remixes,” released due to popular demand by DJs and fans alike. The next single/video is new promo favorite, “Twisted.”
Disc 2, marks Ultra’s first ever commercially released DJ mix compilation–“The Sugar Sessions 01”–a sah-lamming set of additional remixes from the “G.S.T.” album, mixed by DJ Ultra Naté herself.
If you’re not familiar with Miss Naté’s ways behind the decks, beware: The woman throws down a tough, tracky set, as those of you at the Tommy Boy Sunset Sessions party during the Winter Music Conference can surely attest. Read the 10 Q&As With DJ Ultra Naté interview.
Rocking the decks for over five years at Sugar (her Friday night party at the 1722 Club in her hometown of Baltimore) Ultra has secured gigs in Australia, Montreal, Brazil, the UK (at Ministry Of Sound, no less) and France, where she drops a regular radio mix on the respected dance station, Radio FG. (Listen!: www.radiofg.com Sunday's 9:00p.m. Paris/3:00p.m. EST)
Ultra's also busy on the production side of things. She brings us up to date, “I have a record label affiliated with my party called Deep Sugar Music (under the Strictly Rhythm umbrella) releasing records by R&B /Dance diva Sybil and two new artists: Jada & Lisa Mack. So far we've done a digital release of Sybil's soulful house stomper, ‘Shining Star,’ and will release Jadas' first single, ‘Beautiful’ on Sept 18th, with underground and commercial mixes on both. It's very exciting, but a lot of work to put out my own records on BluFire through Tommy Boy and three other artists on Deep Sugar as well, but it's an amazing experience and I don't think there is another woman in the Dance genre doing it at this level.” •
