Sir Ivan - Kumbaya

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

Yes. This is a cover of that song. SDJ first reported about the existence of this and some remixes several months back.

So far, there are mixes by Tony Moran & Warren Rigg and Christopher Lawrence.

Tony/Warren's has an epic trance feel in addition to their usual circuit fierceness. The instrumental is really pretty. Christopher Lawrence goes in a trancey direction as well.

The vocals are just . It may be more enjoyable after some controlled substances.

I heard Tonys back in march and then once again at gay Disney, Joe Gauthreaux actually played it lol. The vocals are just ew but the mix is hot! He did make a purse from a pig's ear lol. i cant imagine any dj actually playing this song. who is sir ivan again? isnt he some crazy rich guy who wears a cape? he certainly personifies CHEESEBAG that cover of "imagine" was awful as well and yet he can afford to pay top djs HUGE sums of money to remix his crap

you can hear Tony/Warren's mix and dub here as well as Eric Kupper

I actually like the OTHER vocals of the someone else singing "kumba kumbaya" it actually works with the whole tribal circuit sound. That seems to be what Tony was going for with the jungle dub. I don't see an instrumental anywhere but that would prob be the best. The little whistle sound Tony used is cute.

Kupper's is just a mess because it has elements of President Obama's speeches in it. WTF?

OMG that was hilarious how those were incorporated! There were some other tracks and remixes that came out for other songs that had Obama samples in it. I have heard only a couple that really worked well.

There's an alternate, 135 BPM Christopher Lawrence remix with Obama's speeches in it as well. The dub they released is really cool, loving this production.

Moran's mix sounds really messy.

That tambourine thing really gets on my nerves quickly. Around 2:15 as the clubby sounds come back in it's weird. Then the Kumbayaaaaaaaa hangs on one note but the chords change and it's off... and then it's clubby with this giant static pad that doesn't fit. Then it's okay for a while, then that tambourine and annoying synth come back in... on top of that the vocal is awful. I like the "KUMBA KUMBAYA" thing at the end but it doesnt fit with all the pads and uplifting chords. Overall it's a mess, imo.

This song is STUPID. Why Tony and Warren would attach their name to this joke of a track baffles me. NO THANKS!

remixing is their job. if someone wants to pay them a lot of money to mix a song, why should they say no? all djs remix a bad song here or there. they just never play those out in their live sets!
