PREMIERE: ELLES - Anthem (Angel Of Rhythm Refix Pt.2)

ELLES - 04 March 2024

Fresh from the success of their Major Records debut with the immaculate Too Hot EP, Rinse France’s Whitney Weiss brings ELLES, Needy Beast, Evelyn, and Spatial Awareness into the Chinotto Records fold for The World, Reversed Remixes EP out on the 15th of March.
Released via Whitney’s newly founded imprint Chinotto Records, a label focused on spotlighting ‘moments of true dancefloor euphoria’, the EP gathers choice US and UK producers for five distinctive remixes that take the already warm and vibrant track to the club, the chill-out room, the
rave, and the afters. It also marks the label’s first foray into vinyl, with a limited hand-stamped run of 100 records.

Accomplished London-based producer, DJ, and songwriter ELLES elevates the original to new emotional heights with stirring vocals and ethereal synths, while Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Needy Beast gives a nod to house classics with a lush groove. Brooklyn-based DJ and producer extraordinaire Evelyn expands the track to seven tightly-coiled moments of
galloping beats for the rave and UK-based producer Spatial Awareness goes deep with nearly eight synth-fuelled minutes for pushing dancers a step beyond. The EP concludes with a new mix from Whitney Weiss: a perfect slice of house that keeps the warmth of the original with a longer run time
for dance floors.

Whitney says:
“I wanted to ask some friends and favourites to re-imagine a track that people kept saying ends too soon and their takes thrilled and moved me.
ELLES is fiercely talented and I was honoured that she chose to add vocals. Hers is the remix that so far has made everyone cry, including me. I think it’s a perfect mood shift at peak time for skilled DJs who want their audiences to find heaven within, etc.
Needy Beast had a storied presence in various New York music scenes and knows his way around a studio. He’s a talented vocalist and fun guy whose version has nods to house classics and an unmistakable lushness of its own (with some great backing vocals).
I’m a big fan of Evelyn’s music and was floored by her guest mix for my Rinse show; I wanted to have her on for a remix so the EP could have the range. She goes harder than I do production-wise as a general rule and I was excited to hear the direction she took this in, which was beats beats
beats.
The Spatial Awareness remix is one for the club at a full-floor hour. Love the synths on this, it’s imbued with that sweat dripping down the walls energy.
I felt like being clever and wanted a longer version that kept the original mood. Kevin from Valence Studios, who does all of our mastering, called it ‘a piece of genius that reminds me of the kind of fun that I miss from the old AVH cuts’ and that felt like winning an award/meant it had worked.”
As a DJ Whitney Weiss is a master of their craft at the centre of some of the world’s cutting-edge queer parties for over a decade. From deeply underground beginnings playing 8+ hour stretches in Argentinean factories and defunct train depots and a residency at the legendary Dengue Dancing
parties in Buenos Aires (where after five years a move to Berlin was a quieter pace of life), to residencies across Europe in the years since - including Club Sandwich, Wanderlust, Strangé in Paris and Dalston Superstore in London. They’ve played regularly to global audiences from Berlin to Milan to Reykjavík to New York, appearing on The Lot Radio, NTS, HÖR, and Teki Latex’s French TV Show Overdrive Infinity and many more. Whitney divides their time between Berlin and Paris, where they
are celebrating their tenth year on Rinse France

Multifaceted London artist, producer and Rinse FM host ELLES unveils remix EP A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes featuring new edits of her debut album from Real Lies, Whitney Weiss, Martyn Bootyspoon and ELLES herself. A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes lands 11th April on all platforms.

A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes takes ELLES debut album, A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Life - a love letter to London nightlife written during lockdowns, sonically impressionistic of club environments - to the dancefloor for real across five edits from Martyn Bootyspoon, Whitney Weiss, Real Lies and ELLES herself, mastered by Photonz. With club sounds forefronted, these addictive new remixes evoke a spectrum of sounds from warehouse rave grit to hands-in-the-air euphoria, and even blissed out chill. 

Kicking off proceedings, ELLES turns the lens on herself for a rave-ready version of ‘Anthem’. From its oneeric piano house referencing origins, the remix cranks up tempo and volume with UKG as its rhythmic touchstone. Maintaining the emotive essence of the original whilst sprinkling in a healthy dose of dancefloor hedonism, ELLES combines dreamy touches and melodic undertones with glitchy beeps and gravelly bass offsetting her glacial Sprechgesang vox. She says: ‘Anthem’ is at its core about grief and desire and how the escapism of the club can help process. This version is built more for the club environment it references - still emotive but speaking to a more hedonistic energy.”

Hot (and hornt) on its heels is celebrated Montreal-based artist and producer Martyn Bootyspoon’s blistering edit of ‘Sex’. ELLES’ sultry after-hours indie-sleaze ‘tribute to after party hookups that mask a deeper desire for connection - part of the bittersweet tapestry of adventures in the night explored over the album’s course’ goes for a salacious night spin to the rave with Bootyspoon on typically raucous duties. ‘Sex’ is transformed it into a glorious blaze of club filth, 3310 ringtones reverberating through a system-shattering bassline, checking us in for the night at the harder end of house.

Headsy euphoria is the order of the day on London electronic duo and suburban dreamers, Real Lies’ remix, whose yearning club-inspired sound has made them cult faves and won big support from the likes of R1’s Jack Saunders and more. Their take on ‘Afterglo’, ELLES’ radiant album sign-off track, is a symphony of irresistible breaks and rising synths, offsetting the lush strings and vox of the original, hands in the air and tears-in-the-club guaranteed on this captivating club edit. 

Berlin-based, Rinse France host and Chinotto Records head Whitney Weiss steps up to give ‘Hope’ its dues with a behemoth acid rework. Whitney’s provenance as a marathon DJ at some of Argentina’s wildest underground parties are fully evidenced in their ability to make a dance floor erupt. This belter of a remix touches all the sweet spots of acid house, taking in a DJ’s DJ worth of references from Sparks to Spiritualized along the way. Bumping, distinctive and huge!

Closing out the EP is ELLES’ heart-stopping orchestral version of ‘Out 2 4get’, in this stunning reimagining guitar basslines and stomping kicks are swapped out for lush string arrangements and ambient textural detail, taking the original from a brattish Britpop-y night of excesses to a cinematic heartfelt sense of longing. Edits don’t come much more moving  than this.
