Hailing from Atlanta, GA, The DangerFeel Newbies have a hell of a lot of soul, a gorgeously rich, composite sound and an engaging sense of heritage.

This trio of ‘What Am I Here For?’ remixes are an all-American affair from Kai Alcé, head of NDATL Muzik. NDATL is an acronym for New York, Detroit and Atlanta – the three places that have been instrumental in shaping Kai’s approach and cultivated the tones of the label’s releases.

Drawing influence from all the genres on the American musical spectrum (blues, jazz, soul, funk, hip-hop etc) Kai Alcé emerges with an EP that is equally rooted in the past and freshly original. ‘What Am I Here For?’ the three-track EP comprises of two versions of the title single, plus a remix of ‘Swingin’ With The New Jacks’.

The whole EP’s sound is warm and sumptuous, with exquisite velvety vocals on ‘What Am I Here For?’ and layers of jazz percussion. As the name suggests, ‘Swingin’ With The New Jacks’ has more of a big-band swing feel and plenty of sax. It’s a sophisticated, expressive EP with a personal feel and a big heart.
