Cedric D drops new remix

Cedric D has earned a reputation as one of Northern California’s most intriguing voices in electronic pop. Based in San Jose, the producer and performer has made an impression over the last few years for crafting music that feels as emotionally compelling as it is sonically engaging. His work is built on the fusion of warm electronic textures with reflective themes and spiritual undertones, a combination that’s allowed him to connect with audiences both in the studio and on stage.

With an ethos that values thematic depth as much as sonic energy, Cedric D has created a unique space for himself within the electronic music landscape. His artistic identity is shaped by a wide range of influences, ranging from the atmospheric electronica of Bonobo and Odesza to the timeless innovation of Prince, resulting in music that blends pads, synths and a diverse array of instrumentation into immersive compositions that balance reflection with rhythm-driven vitality.

Since his official debut in 2021, Cedric D has approached music as a form of storytelling, bringing together soundscapes that speak to the complexity of life from his own perspective. That debut arrived with Ocean & Sky, his first album, which introduced listeners to his cinematic style and thematic focus. Not long after, he followed it up with New Soul, his sophomore record that expanded his exploration of electronic pop and spiritual reflection. From those beginnings, Cedric D has been remarkably prolific, releasing multiple singles, albums and an EP while also delivering live shows that have won over audiences across the Bay Area.

This year he’s continued to build momentum with a series of original releases and remixes and now he brings us his latest outing with a remixed version of his recent single titled “What I See.” The track stands as one of his most poignant works, framing ideas of human perception and bias and in doing so, it addresses a relatable context. Produced entirely in his home studio, the remix distils Cedric D’s knack for blending old-school influences with modern electronic sounds, taking cues from acts like Satin Jackets.

Jumping straight in with elegant piano chords and fluttering notes, the steady pulse of grooving bass and laid back shuffle of drums forms an alluring soundscape that’s dreamy and energising in equal measure. As the graceful vocal leads drift in, they thread delicate melodies above the mellow rhythmic arrangement to cast a catchy soundscape that’s unique, charming and thoroughly enjoyable all at once.

As the vocals layer up and overlap, intricate instrumental flashes pepper the track with slick ebb and flow to deliver a superb remix that’s truly impossible not to love. Showcasing his ability to reimagine his own music in exciting new ways, Cedric D’s remix of “What I See” serves up a shimmering outing that’s sure to delight listeners around the world.
