Just before the summer, I got approached by Croatia Records with an idea to remix 'Kud Plovi Ovaj Brod', a legendary 1970 chanson classic by Miss Radojka Šverko, with music originally written by Esad Arnautalić and words by the great Arsen Dedić. This year the song is celebrating its 50th birthday and this special edition EP was put together to mark the occasion. The release features several incarnations of the song, released throughout the years, and two new which I'm honored to be a part of. I had a good team for the project - Zvonimir Bajević, Igor Fabris, Mr Dirty Hairy and Arsen Ereš, and we explored two different approaches in parallel.
With "Interpretation", we took a live concert recording from 2018 and, in a very traditional manner, scored new parts (strings, brass section and flute) to dress it differently. With "Dub", we took the freedom of dismantling everything we did on the first version, and turned it into a hip hop downtempo instrumental. Hopefully, you'll enjoy them both. Jan
