WONDERFULL - DJ Spinna

Preview DJ Spinna’s Tribute: “The Wonder of Stevie: Volume 3″

Brooklyn DJ and producer Vincent Williams aka DJ Spinna has pieced together a touching tribute to his longtime hero and personal friend Stevie Wonder. The project is called The Wonder of Stevie: Volume 3 and features never-before-heard covers from the likes of The Jackson 5, Billy Preston and Quincy Jones. 

The album, set for release on the 1st of July is a dedication of enthusiasm and love for an incredible artist for whom DJ Spinna has a huge amount of appreciation. The songs span Stevie Wonder’s extensive career and highlight the way his music has influenced so many other amazing artists.

This is not the first time DJ Spinna has created a project in honour of Stevie Wonder, more like the latest instalment in a long list. It began in 1999 in New York with his Wonder-full project, an annual dance party that still runs in 2016 celebrating the life and music of Stevie Wonder. The parties showcase exclusive songs, unheard originals and remixes from Stevie Wonder’s endless catalogue. Not only do punters get to enjoy the original tunes but also DJ Spinna’s talent for effortlessly spanning genres in his remixes of R&B, soul and blues with modern electronic dance music.

A couple of years ago the man himself even made a surprise appearance (bad video but good vibes).

Although the album won’t be released for another month, OkayPlayer premiered an 18 minute promo mix for you to enjoy now.
