Justice Served On ‘Hero (Tate Sedar Remix)’ By Empire’s Terrell Carter!

‘Hero’ (25k+ streams) by Terrell Carter & eMMber and its remix by TATE SEDAR get a promo vid that invigorates listeners to question the social injustices recognized in 2020. Shots of Carter by John Hafner are included; the official music video is set for release later this spring. The remix by SEDAR is the main feature on the remix EP (released March 26) and was produced to match the emotions & narrative of Freedom Summer.

The remix, by TATE SEDAR, is a powerful one, both with its message and with its sounds. Even just with the small YouTube teaser, enough is revealed but it also leaves you wanting more. Sultry piano chords are used to build the tension with pulsating synths and driving basslines then taking centre stage for the drop. A drop that is sure to send any crowd into a frenzy!

A prodigious vision, the electro remix & promo bring to life honest lines such as: “They killed a man on the news / What are they gonna do?” The video sets viewers back in May-July of 2020 with facial expressions & visual messages we’re too familiar with. The track boasts larger-than-life plucks, scratch FX and Carter’s uncompromising range along with an homage to breakbeat and 90s rave. The significance of the scenes & sounds echoes beyond protest lines or large-scale music venues; it emphasizes the late need to end enforcement brutality & inequity and that Carter & SEDAR won’t cease their efforts. “The ideas for the remix and promo were instant. It was organic, maybe because it was time to speak again, but with more serious passion, on the longstanding issues.” – TATE SEDAR
