Sonic Soul Orchestra Ft. Daniel Thomas - Wake Up (Risk Assessment + Raffa Deepside Remixes)

Motive Records Wakes Up the Dance Floor with remixes for ‘Wake Up’ Sonic Soul Orchestra feat. Daniel Thomas. Expanding on the original classic soulful house masterpiece with two new interpretations from Raffaele Ciavolino and Risk Assessment.
The original 'Wake Up' saw the soulful vibes of Sonic Soul Orchestra—a collective known for releases on esteemed labels like Groove Odyssey, Midnight Riot, and Quantize Recordings—join forces with the captivating and unifying vocals of Daniel Thomas. The original track is a timeless, feel-good classic house cut, built on a foundation of rolling piano chords, authentic 90s strings, and locking percussion that secures its soulful house feel.
Raffa Deepside Remix: Respected Italian producer Raffaele Ciavolino returns to Motive Records following his popular releases ‘Breakfast In Tokyo’ and ‘Musica’. Raffaele brings his signature flair to the remix, moving with a style that expertly blends jazzy, funky and deep House. In this powerful interpretation, Raffaele Ciavolino delves into deep house vibes, layering the track with elegant piano work and soaring high strings that beautifully complement the vocal. The addition of airy synths adds a unique, atmospheric texture, crafting a sophisticated remix. A consistent presence on the Traxsource charts—Raffaele Ciavolino, owner and founder of White Coffee Label, leverages his deep experience in the Jackin’ house scene (with releases on Groove Culture, Soulfuric Deep, and Mood Funk Records) to deliver a remix that is guaranteed to be on rotation.
Risk Assessment Remix: Veteran house music authority Glyne Brathwaite, aka Risk Assessment, steps up to deliver his take. No stranger to the global scene, Glyne has been behind the decks since the early 90s, with a career that includes DJing at legendary spots like Energy, The Wag Club, and Pacha, alongside international slots from Miami WMC to Fabric. Risk Assessment's remix immediately delivers a distinctive 90's classic house feel. It features a driving organ bassline and soaring high strings that lock into the groove. The Risk Assessment remix is backed by decades of industry experience, promising a sophisticated, floor-ready mix from an artist who knows the classic and contemporary sounds of house music inside and out.
