BLVD. Revisits Purple Fly For A Modern Remake of Gloria Estefan Classic “Turn The Beat Around”
You know that you’ve found a second home when you’ve come back for a third time with a brand new drop. On our latest visit over to Purple Fly we are checking out “Turn The Beat Around”, the latest drop from BLVD. For those of you who haven’t heard of Purple Fly, it is a brand new music label making a major splash in the current market. A completely independent imprint, Purple Fly embraces the current hype around NFTs in the cryptocurrency world with one goal in mind…support their artists. On a larger scale, Purple Fly aims to support collaborations of all forms of art, connecting music and stunning visuals for a truly immersive experience. The label will be dropping NFTs with each music drop, allowing direct support from fans for their favorite artists. There are many artists joining in the movement, including Zafrir, MSPUIYI, Goldfish, DJ SODA, Hard Lights, Flaremode, IZKO, Danny Ores, Drezio, Laidback Luke, BLVD., Fatman Scoop, Shaquille O’Neal, Sevenn, and more as part of the Purple Fly roster. With more and more talent joining their ranks, Purple Fly is going to be a major force to be reckoned with very soon. Determined to show listeners a grittier side of house music, BLVD is stepping onto the stage to make a major splash on the industry. While BLVD is relatively unknown by the general populace, he has already received support from Diplo & Friends, RL Grime, and Ekali just to name a few. If you ask us, we’d say that those are quality people to have in your corner as you make your way up the electronic ladder.
When you’ve become synonymous with a particularly hard style of music, it’s always a shock when you take a hard right and pivot. BLVD, who you may know for his gritty and hard bass music, comes out of left field with his new rendition of a classic dance track. Originally made popular by Gloria Estefan in 1994, “Turn the Beat Around” is given an updated rave and modern electronic coat of paint. Thankfully, BLVD keeps the original track’s main disco features intact, keeping a solid level of nostalgia that can’t be written over even by a solid soaking of deep house. While BLVD is one of the last producers we’d expect to completely give a classic dance single a modern update, we are thrilled that he did. How do you feel about producers like BLVD and Kygo breathing refreshed life into classic dance tracks? Let us know!
