RYTERBAND & Jody Wisternoff - Brilliant Eyes (Jody Wisternoff Alt Remix)

In the next installment of his Undefended remix series, RYTERBAND has teamed up with English DJ/producer Jody Wisternoff for a euphoric house re-imagination of the single “Brilliant Eyes.” This song is the third act of RYTERBAND’s music video trilogy, and is featured on his debut EP Undefended, co-produced by GRAMMY-winner Robert Cutarella.

“It was an absolute pleasure to remix this track,” says Wisternoff. “RYTERBAND is clearly a forward-thinking, experienced musician with a beautiful voice, and there were many amazing elements from the original to work with. I'm all about supporting upcoming talent, especially when the music is this good. I feel RYTERBAND has a very promising future!"

In August, RYTERBAND plans to release a remix of his single “Lighthouse” with electronic producer Boxer, along with an environmental-themed music video.

About Jody Wisternoff
Jody Wisternoff has been pushing the envelope his entire career, which started at the very early age of 13 years when he and brother Sam prodigiously reached the finals of the DMC HipHop Championships. This success was compounded two years later when they found national fame as Tru Funk, landing themselves on the pages of cult magazine The Face and Tim Westwood’s Radio 1 playlist.

These formative years were influential too, for it was this background that underpinned the ethos of Way Out West, which Jody founded with Nick Warren following a chance meeting in a local record shop. Fusing Bristol’s dub roots with club beats Way Out West captured a sound unlike any other at that time and burst onto the mid-nineties dance scene with seminal hits such as ‘Ajare’ and top ten smash ‘The Gift’, which they even performed on Top of the Pops (RIP). When not appearing on nationally treasured TV programmes, they could be found remixing the likes of Roni Size, M-People, Orbital, Tiesto, Sasha, BT, UNKLE, James Holden and Fatboy Slim’s Freak Power alter ego; touring the world alongside dance titans Faithless and The Prodigy and collaborating with Trevor Horn, arguably one of Britain’s most successful and revered producers. How many can boast a CV like that?

So what of Jody’s solo endeavours? Once again Jody’s ability to succeed with production and DJing has seen him climb to the highest heights of Beatport (and we’re talking THE overall, not genre chart here) and iTunes, gain a healthy Spotify following, remix Above & Beyond and Lane8 plus many others, and maintain a steady solo release schedule. It's his alliance with Anjunadeep both as A&R (signing Lane 8 for starters) and priority artist which has been his most significant career move in recent years.

The annual Anjunadeep compilations which he has been mixing alongside label boss James Grant since 2015 have all hit the iTunes USA Dance No1 jackpot and it is this profile boost especially in the USA which has helped maintain a constant touring schedule.
