Restriction II (Into The Blood Remix)

The Eric C. Powell remix of e.no’s ‘Why Should I Run?’ happened quite by accident. It was during a radio show’s online chat in early 2021, when both listened to and enjoyed each other’s songs, and spontaneously agreed to create remixes for each other. Just for the fun of it.

‘Why Should I Run?’ itself is a very synth-laden, positive electronic pop song. Unlike the bright, very likeable flair of the original, Eric seeks to bring a more outright 80s feeling to his interpretation of ‘Why Should I Run?’. His remix introduces a rougher, openly retrospective tonal quality, all weaving around e.no’s trademark vocals. Incorporating a demandingly blunt lead synth, playfully shimmering arpeggios and a classic 80s drum beat (mind the snare!), this version demands to be danced to on a Saturday night. Or any time when you need to escape every day’s hamster wheel of routine. This remix perfectly evokes the unreal, synthetic charms of an electric night out!

Why Should I Run? (Eric C. Powell Remix)

Don’t we all do this: Meet someone, new or acquainted, and tell them how well we are doing and things are working out for us. But what if you’ve come to a place in life where you look back, and realise that you could have lead an entirely different life? If you hadn’t most of it just happen by itself, out of circumstances and simple chance, but had made more conscious decisions? They say, it’s never too late, but there are actually things that pass on.

Someone I Know is a colourful pop song, and the prismatic life story of an old man that Eno met, someone he actually doesn’t really know. And at the same time a story about himself, realising very late what music means to him, understanding he could have made commitments much earlier. This irresistible song is echoing loneliness and nervy regret, and at the same time sparkling an unravelling quiet euphoria of letting go – maybe it’s never too late, in one form or another.

Recent singles, remixes and e.no’s debut album Why Does Everybody Look Like Someone I Know have already been played on numerous regional and online radios, and reviewed on countless blogs and radios (including radioeins, WDR and oldenburg eins in Germany). Someone I Know is now the fifth single, marking the end of the album’s journey for e.no, before he will focus on writing and producing for himself and other artists again.

Someone I Know (Radio Version)

Shortly before the one-year anniversary of his debut album ‘Why Does Everybody Look Like Someone I Know?’, and to round up this chapter of his musical live, e.no is releasing a remix album with the title Why Does Everybody Sound Like Me?

As rich and multi-faceted the original album is, it is no surprise that also his remix album spans a wide array of styles and approaches to e.no’s music. You’ll get your fair share of club-ready versions with Berlin’s Boy DADA and Part Time Alpaca (and the Extended Version of ‘Why Should I Run?’). Award-winning composer Eric C. Powell from Texas, Norwegian Atroxity and Danish duo Into The Blood fill all your synth and electro pop desires. If your thing is intricate, multi-layered Electronica, your best bet are Italian LCAO and Berlin’s Sorry the Hedgehog. If you are lusting for funk and broken grooves, you may be well-served by the remixes for Heads Up!, courtesy of English beat cruncher The Beat-Pimp and again Sorry the Hedgehog.

Remix spotlight: Highlike (Part Time Alpaca Remix)
Part Time Alpaca is not really someone striving for bold appearances and in-your-face marketing. He gave up on Social Media, to ultimately focus on music and not be distracted by the constant drags and pushes of FOMO. Being himself a multi-instrumentalist, playing and working in multiple bands and projects, he is the perfect fit for remixing e.no.

Highlike is most likely the oddest song on e.no’s album. Featuring rapper and actor Gläser, it is the only German (and) Hip Hop track on the whole release. Part Time Alpaca takes up on the track’s old-school notion, but decidedly makes it more compatible for the dance floor. It will remind you of the classic Deep House, miles away from its modern-day over-commercial lollipop aesthetics. Stripped down to its bare minimum, the Part Time Alpaca remix takes a moment, and then translates its strictly compressed and vibrant groovework. It comprises of analogue synth elements, funky Rhodes licks, a stomping, honest house beat, and clever sample work borrowing drums, vocals and brass elements from the original. Being so foreign to the original track, Part Time Alpaca decided against just another house rendition for a pop song, but made it one of these creative and original re-works you keep coming back to.

If you’ve yet had a chance to listen to some of the recent productions of e.no’s second nature Sorry the Hedgehog, you’ll know how much he enjoys sweeping through genres and moods. Few things though seem to be a common ground: An intricate longing for driving beats, an appetite for little breaks and pieces, and a strong notion of fun(k). His more-or-less self-remix for Heads Up! is unarguably a landmark of Sorry’s production craft: You’ll barely ever get to hear how much fun completely disassembling and re-arranging your very own track can be.

Enter e.no’s Heads Up! – it’s a jazzy pop song with a positive, earnest message. No matter how shitty you might be, failing or achieving – you’re good the way you are. But what Sorry the Hedgehog makes of it, is a blatant expression of pure pleasure. He pitches, rewinds, stops, chops, mangles the vocals and instrumental bits of the song in all possible ways, dissects the pop structure of the original to a freakish new interpretation full of tape stops, down- and upwards pitches and sudden turnarounds. You don’t know if you’d rather listen with a broad grin, or simply start dancing no matter where you are. The hard-hitting breakbeat, along with nostalgic drum breaks, funky guitars and split-samples of the original make for a delicate hot Ghetto-Funk-ish meal you could feast on for days. YUM!

Heads Up! (Sorry The Hedgehog Remix)

We are constantly optimising ourselves and what we do. Perfect shots from seemingly immaculate lives on Instagram, efficient processes in the office, and always your ‘Best You’ before your eyes. Heads Up! cuddles you and claims: Just be not cool for once, be lazy or in a bad mood. Bore yourself. Do something wrong. Don’t make the right decision – you’re good the way you are.

The sound of Heads Up! leaves behind the Synthpop elegies of the first single and finds its roots in Adult Pop. Still sprinkled with electronic elements, now influences from Jazz and Indie are more prominent. The subtle electric guitar licks from guest musician Jalfonze bring in a hint of Soul, supported by a Rhodes and an unobtrusive breakbeat underneath.

Above this easygoing pop song, e.nos vocals shine effortlessly and optimistic. The lyrics tell tales from being stuck, from demanding oneself to do everything properly, and eventually failing. The chorus ironically provides a manual to overcome exactly this: Put your heads up in the air, wave it around like you just don’t care. Maybe we should care a bit less, and live a bit more the way we are.

Since its release in November, e.no’s first single Why Should I Run? has been shared on dozens of Spotify playlists, played and featured on countless radio shows, and has been personally presented in an interview on Berlin-based radio station radioeins. His second single once again proves the extent of e.no’s genre-bending idea of the concept of Pop.

Super-funky breabeat remix feast, freshly delivered by @thebeatpimp.

Heads Up! (The Beat-Pimp Remix)

e.no is a solo artist, producer and DJ from Berlin.
Finding inspiration in Nordic Singer/Songwriters, Indie Pop, trashy 90s radio Dance and electronic funk, he oscillates and conciliates between honest, hand-crafted songwriting and the glittering, noise-heavy parallel sphere of electronic music. Be it a sparsely arranged, almost inaudible acoustic song or a massive, itchy dance track – he always stays devoted to new inspirations and forms of expression.
On stage he thrives with an astonishing range of styles and provokes both ears and dancing muscles with his vocals, piano, Glockenspiel, synthesizers, effects and his trumpet. 
Besides continuous performances on festivals and stages in Germany, Prague, New York, Bucharest and Copenhagen, e.no writes music for theatre plays, animation films, web TV series and a smartphone game, but also produces and remixes other artists and projects.
