“Music is the celebration of life. Without music we have no meaning, no joy…”
Surging ahead with his next dynamite single on Jack Said What, Serge Santiago is unstoppable at the minute. His ’11:11’ album — released on November 11th at the end of last year — was rammed with 4/4 dancefloor bangers, and he’s already well on the way to album number two.
‘Take Me Away’ is another fine house tune to add to Serge’s solo cannon. “Music is the basis of all life…” says a deep commanding voice, extolling the wonders of music at judicious points throughout the track. Swung beats, a tinkling bell and funky percussion provide the bedrock to another hugely playable, chuggy house music missive from Serge.
A regular at Jack Said What label nights while also helming the Stompa Phunk club brand that he recently relaunched in his home city of Brighton, Serge has been firing on all cylinders since leaving behind the Waze & Odyssey project that he was half of for the previous decade. After spending most of his time in the studio over the past couple of years, he’s back gigging internationally now, as a solo artist, and has his mojo well and truly between his teeth.
