Joe Claussell takes Emanuele Cisi’s Pharoah’s Message deeper into club territory.
Joe Claussell steps in to rework Emanuele Cisi’s Pharoah’s Message and, as expected, this is no standard remix package. What you get instead are three expansive reinterpretations that blur the lines between spiritual jazz and deep house, built with intention rather than urgency.
The original composition already carries weight, drawing from the lineage of Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane, but in Claussell’s hands it’s stretched into something far more immersive.
The standout “Sacred Rhythm Epic Journey” does exactly what the title suggests. Extended, percussive and constantly evolving, it leans into live instrumentation while maintaining a steady, hypnotic pulse. The sax leads the way, but it’s the interplay between drums, keys and rhythm that gives the track its depth. This isn’t about quick impact — it’s about movement over time.
On the flip, “Sacred Arts Drummers Cosmic Dub” shifts the focus further into rhythm. Heavy on percussion and groove, it feels more stripped back yet equally powerful, with layered drums and subtle melodic touches creating a rolling, almost meditative energy.
Final thoughts
This is Claussell doing what he does best.
Long-form, spiritual, and built for those moments where the dancefloor becomes something more than just a place to move. It won’t be for everyone, but for those who understand the Sacred Rhythm approach, this hits exactly where it should.
