Yelfris Valdes’ 2019 debut LP For The Ones... saw the Cuban trumpeter explore the spiritual depth of his Yoruba heritage, subtly weaving its rich vocal traditions with electronic textures and live instrumentation to create a pulsating, immersive soundscape. By deliberately transforming the acoustic tone of his trumpet, he adds layers of depth while preserving its emotive power and tenderness. The result is a bold and exploratory evolution in his composition—drawing from his classical foundation and deep love of jazz, while stepping further into the realm of electronica.
Now, with an impressive lineup of forward-thinking producers—Quantic, K15, LCSM, Osunlade, Maxwell Owin, and Contours—key moments from the album are reimagined for the dancefloor. Infused with cosmic trumpet melodies, psychedelic textures, and infectious grooves, these remixes breathe new life into Yelfris’ original vision.
This reworking presents his extraordinary musicianship in a new light, resonating with electronic audiences and global dancefloors alike.
'It is such an honour to have these incredible electronic artists remixing my album For The Ones... The tracks have definitely taken on a whole new dimension. I hope this remix EP brings you as much fun and excitement as it does to me.' – Yelfris Valdes
