SONG: Liquid Spirit (Claptone Remix) – Gregory Porter

Gregory Porter's “Liquid Spirit” already carried the weight of a modern soul anthem, but Claptone’s remix injects it with a pulse that’s pure dancefloor alchemy. The remix doesn’t just rework the track—it reimagines it, bridging Porter's rich, gospel-infused vocals with deep house textures that feel both reverent and rebellious.

Claptone strips back the original’s jazz instrumentation and replaces it with a hypnotic groove, built around crisp percussion and a bouncing bassline that gives the track a buoyant, almost celebratory energy. The remix retains the lyrical message—“Let the liquid spirit free”—but now it feels like a call to movement, not just reflection. It’s a spiritual release through rhythm.

What’s especially clever is how Claptone preserves the emotional core of Porter’s delivery. His voice remains front and center, commanding attention even as the beat swells around him. The result is a track that works equally well in a sun-drenched Ibiza set or a late-night soul session.

If you’re curating a set that blends sophistication with groove, this remix is a must-have. It’s a masterclass in how to honor a song’s essence while giving it new life on the dancefloor.
