"Even though dance music was created by Queer, Black folks, in today’s world Black people have somehow taken a backseat in this genre, and it’s now more shocking than expected to see a Black person thriving in electronic music,” Kaleena Zanders explains. “My goal is to normalize seeing Black and BIPOC people united in dance, and that through love and a conscious effort, more people like me will permeate the industry’s gates. Dance music must be an eclectic place where all races exist equally. Much love to 12th Planet, R3LL, Lee Wilson, KOIL & Vindata for helping me push along this message.”
LA based singer-songwriter Kaleena Zanders is celebrating both Black Music Month and PRIDE Month with a remix package of her track “RELOAD”, which was released last year and chronicled her experience with police brutality.
The five-track package features remixes from fellow POC producers Lee Wilson, R3LL, 12th Planet, Vindata, and KOIL, and all first year artist streaming royalties will be donated equally between the National Bailout Fund and Diversify The Stage, LLC.
A diverse landscape of soundscapes, “RELOAD [reloaded]” showcases the individual production personas of all five artists featured on the release. Leading with Lee Wilson’s 4/4 disco house tap, into R3LL’s funky Jersey Club signature rework, 80s-infused dubstep with 12th Planet, Vindata’s vibrant tropical house rhythms, and KOIL’s dark deep house remix, each track lends a fun and creative spin to Zanders’ captivating vocal work.
“RELOAD” was Zanders first step away from electronic music vocal features and into the current iteration of her solo project. A song about reloading on love instead of bullets, “RELOAD” chronicled her experience with police brutality. Through her music, Zanders’ goal is to create a larger presence in the Black electronic music community, with her “RELOAD [reloaded]” remix package advocating for her duty to help shift the narrative and build a collective of artists who fight injustice musically.
