Austrian producer and multi-instrumentalist Tunesmith, also known as Klaus Wienerroither, introduces his forthcoming album ‘Sprezzatura’ with ‘Miss Magic’, a funk-and disco-influenced single featuring vocals by Marija Miletić.
Built around a slap bassline, analog synthesizers, and soulful vocals, ‘Miss Magic’ explores the aftermath of a breakup. The release includes the original ‘Miss Magic (Disco Days)’ alongside two reinterpretations, ‘Miss Magic (Deep Tech Nine Remix)’ and ‘Miss Magic (Detroit Tech City Remix)’.
“‘Miss Magic’ is a mixture between 70s Funk, a House beat and sophisticated harmony. I wanted to go after something Earth, Wind and Fire did so masterfully in the 70s. Real tunes you can dance to,” says Tunesmith, explaining the musical direction behind the track and referencing Earth, Wind & Fire as an influence.
The producer has collaborated with Marija Miletić for approximately five years, having first encountered her performances while hosting a radio program focused on cool jazz.
The two remixes explore different aspects of the original. ‘Deep Tech Nine Remix’ emphasizes vintage drum sounds, bass synthesizers, and atmospheric pads, while ‘Detroit Tech City Remix’ moves toward techno. Tunesmith also cites early experiences watching Jeff Mills and Robert Hood perform as part of his connection to Detroit’s electronic music.
Before focusing on disco and electronic production, Tunesmith studied guitar at Vienna Music University, lectured in pop and jazz history, and performed in rock bands. His previous releases include ‘Slow Disco’, ‘Disco Classics Vol. 1’, ‘S.O.S.’, and ‘Substance’.
His upcoming album, ‘Sprezzatura’, is scheduled for November 20th and incorporates wah guitars, Latin percussion, keyboard solos, electric bass, horn arrangements, and synthesizer textures.
