Zona is an eclectic house music combo comprised of Dimitri Craven and Jerry Andrews, based in Los Angeles. The duo pushes a ‘live’ deep house style and has had previous acclaimed releases on Good For You Records, Kapa, and House Tribe Records. Zona focuses on the soulful and inspirational facets of house music, collaborating with a number of talented vocalists and players to realize their finely textured sound. 70×7 Records is the pair’s own label, and recently issued the full length album Peace, Love and Understanding to much worldwide acclaim. “Time”, featuring vocalist Valerie Moise, is the latest single from the album and is featured here with a quartet of fantastic remixes.
Respected house music veterans Eric Kupper & Lenny RX turn in a brilliant and moving version that displays their production prowess. Starting simple with a kick, snare, and syncopated bass line, the mix introduces the lovely vocal and quickly fills with layers of chords, pad washes, and dubby effects. Exceptional stuff. Mikey V, of L.A.’s Hawt Music collective, drops a high quality remix tailor-made for the underground, surrounding the vocal line with skippy beats, pulsing chords, and an all-around uplifting and deep vibe. Santa Monica’s Agent Blak mixes up the rhythms for a punchy Broken Mix, and Reda Briki brings a deep, late night ‘playa’ feel with his LDN Switch Remix. Overall, it’s a varied and distinct package that never lets go of Zona’s core composition and Valerie Moise’s seductive voice.
