OH YES, OH YES, CARL COX DELIVERS A CONTEMPORARY SONGS OF JAMES BROWN – AVAILABLE NOW!

Pioneer and global cultural icon Carl Cox delivers a powerful contemporary reimagining of James Brown’s seminal 1968 anthem “Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud,” . Bridging generations, genres, and movements, Cox’s remix honors the Godfather of Soul’s enduring 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 was both a declaration and a revolution—its call-and-response vocals, funk-driven groove, and unapologetic empowerment resonating across decades. Cox’s remix injects modern electronic propulsion while preserving the original’s urgency and spirit, creating a cross-cultural dialogue between soul, funk, techno, and house.

“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.”
