MAKIN222 – Wipe The Needle x Venuz Beats x Shezar x Jaybay “We Shall Overcome” (Frankie Feliciano Remixes)

Posted on by

Wipe the Needle makes his long awaited return to the label along side his latest cohort Venuz Beats with “We Shall Overcome”. The original of this song was our 200th release at the back end of 2023 and now we’re back with fresh news remixes from NYC house music dj / producer Frankie Feliciano, supplying that customary NYC underground sound.

On vocals is hackney-born soul siren Sherelle “ShezAr” McKenzie truly a three soul sister of the 21st Century and a well seasoned force within the UK music scene alongside her sister Jaybay! ShezAr went all the way to the knock outs on the UK’s version of The Voice in 2020 gathering more fans along the way.

Both girls deliver an awesome vocal performance and a positive lyrics in testing times for us all.

We’ve been excited about getting Frankie back on a mix for us and he doesn’t disappoint in true Feliciano style!
