Carl Cox delivers a contemporary reimagining of James Brown’s 1968 track ‘Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud’, which is out today. Aiming to bridge generations and genres, his remix honours the Godfather of Soul’s legacy while reintroducing the track’s message of identity, pride, and unity to dancefloors worldwide.
Originally released at the height of the civil rights movement, ‘Say It Loud’’s call-and-response vocals, funk-driven groove, and unapologetic empowerment resonated across decades. His remix
injects modern electronic propulsion while preserving the original’s urgency and spirit, creating a cross-cultural dialogue between soul, funk, techno, and house.
Carl Cox: “Remixing ‘Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud’ isn’t about the past, it’s about keeping the fire alive. James Brown laid the foundation, the rhythm, the message, the pride. His legacy still moves dancefloors and minds worldwide. This is respect to the Godfather, to black history, and to the power of music that unites us all.”`
The release includes a suite of versions designed for both club environments and historical appreciation, pairing contemporary remixes with original and archival live material.
