With so many musical reference points to choose from, and during one of the most turbulent periods in our planet's history, Andy Caldwell has shifted towards a tougher sound to match the times. This is Andy Caldwell's Obsession. Andy Caldwell's Obsession is released digitally October 20 and on CD November 3
In a move that's bound to make waves, Caldwell drifts away from the soulful, San Francisco sun-soaked side of house music and instead travels down the road of a tougher, more European inspired sound.
These 11 tracks showcase Caldwell's pop songwriting skills and features collaborations from the likes of Mr. V (Strictly Rhythm, MAW Records), Gram'ma Funk (voice of Groove Armada's "I See You Baby") and emerging talents Storm Lee, Femke, Mr. J. Madeiros and Alexander Skye (Madeiros is best know in the roots/hip hop scene with a group called "Procussions" on Rawkus while Skye is a former child actor from the sitcom Charles In Charge.) "My sound has been changing over the last few years," Caldwell says. I got more into the electronic sound with the European house scene and wanted to express that in an album. I was really feeling stagnant creatively and broke out of the soulful house shackles about a year ago."
Beyond his own productions, Caldwell has also made waves as a remixer of both underground heroes (Narcotic Thrust, Hani) and mainstream icons (Bee Gee's, Jennifer Lopez) and received notoriety for his "unofficial" bootleg of Nirvana's Come As You Are." Andy's music has been licensed to dozens of television shows, video games and movies including 'Six Feet Under', 'Sex in the City', 'FIFA Soccer 08' and 'Forces of Nature'. His knack for A&R leads him to find and sign tunes that have gone on to be licensed the world over, as in the Trentem�ller remix of Yoshimoto's "Du What You Du" - a bomb courtesy of his own Uno Recordings!
