This beguiling collection of "Old You" remixes blends the music of Maggie Dave with the dark and captivating imaginations of celebrated composer Nina Shekhar (LA Phil, Eighth Blackbird), Tallac (Deep House Sweden) and producers Charlie Scovill & Phil Galloni. Joining them from the original master tracks are singer and Grammy-nominated vocal & instrument arranger Tehillah Alphonso, saxophonist Joe Berry of M83 and John Schroeder of Pomplamoose. 

Stemming from an R&B/dance-influenced track that explores the grief of a falling out with a loved one, “the original song underwent a drastic metamorphosis in response to animator Cassie Shao’s visionary interpretation of our lyrics and the transformative power of Tehillah’s vocal choir that she arranged and performed,” says Sean David Christensen, singer. “What began as an alternative rock track slowly morphed inward, exploring traumatic memories and fractured personal narratives that Mark (Christopher) & I find challenging, but creatively satisfying places to write songs from.” 

Each artist on this EP explores their own journey through the subterranean textures of "Old You" to create personal expressions of loss, longing and forgiveness. “I also love how open-ended it is,” says Shekhar. “It could be so many different kinds of relationships that apply with this, so I think it invites the listener in this really special way.”

PREMIERE – Paper Pools – Turn On Your Lights (Tallac Remix)

Apollon Telefax brings his unique synth craft and vintage drum machines to a new EP on Sinchi Music that features solo cuts, a collaboration with Max Rockid and remixes from Jepe and Tallac.

Apollon Telefax is a deep-digging vinyl enthusiast, collector of music-making hardware, illustrator and lover of science fiction, nature, and surrealism. All of this feeds into his innovative musical output as he blends house, electro, Italo, synth pop and EBM into transcendent trips on labels like Disco Bump, Calypso Records and Epicure Records.

He goes it alone to open up this EP with 'Nineteen', a tough disco cut with cosmic arps and frazzled bass powering the voyage through the stars. Darkened voices are offset by ever-brighter melodies in this most vibrant of tracks. The fantastic 'Shine' is a collaboration with producer, DJ, engineer and Red Bull associate Max Rockid. Max is come Kazan, Tatarstan, he’s the founder of Rockid Sound Machine and has released on labels like Burning Sole and No Hlaf Steppin. This track is defined by a deadpan emo vocal as squirming leads burrow into the night and cold Italo synth sequences dart about the mix over tight drums and bass.

Berlin-based Portuguese talent Jepe serves up two remixes that see him push his sound as he always has before on labels like Diynamic. The first, a 'Nineteen' 303 Retake, is a cacophony of percussion, analogue drums and cowbells underpinned by lively acid lines and a slapping bassline. The second, a 'Shine' Refax, is more expansive, with big chords designed to get hands in the air and elevate a dance floor. Tallac, an American DJ and producer based in Berlin, brings his mix of house, disco and Italo back to this label, having appeared here before. His remix of 'Shine' is an all out explosion of colour and retro-future disco grooves, with steamy vocals providing the finishing touches in style.

This is another characterful EP of left-of-centre sounds from Sinchi Music and as always with this socially minded label, sales profits will be donated to the Sinchi Foundation to support indigenous peoples worldwide.

PREMIERE: Apollon Telefax & Max Rockid - Shine (Tallac Remix) [Sinchi]

Back when the first white labels started floating through the hands of German, British, American and Canadian DJs in late ’84, nobody was ready for what was coming. The official drop hit in early ’85 and the scene was never the same again. This was the moment Mike Mareen broke through the static. Yeah, he’d been working with Chris Evans-Ironside since the ’70s but nothing hinted that together they’d channel something this futuristic. “Dancing In The Dark” sounded like it had slipped through a wormhole: melancholic, hypnotic vocals wrapped in vocoder haze, riding an arrangement so razor-sharp it made most releases of the era feel prehistoric. It didn’t need the pop charts… It owned the clubs. And the clubs listened.

London. Berlin. Madrid. Rome. Paris. Lisbon. Amsterdam. Athens. Toronto. NYC. Tokyo. Mexico City.
One drop of that electro bassline and DJs were hooked. Crowds were hooked. The whole underground was hooked. Soon Europe’s radio charts caved under its pressure, and the track crossed borders on mixtapes, becoming a cult anthem behind the Iron Curtain. It was everywhere, even where it technically wasn’t allowed to be.

Fast-forward four decades and the spell hasn’t faded. “Dancing In The Dark” still shows up in indie dance, italo wave, house and deep house sets. Producers keep re-editing it like it’s sacred material. It’s one of those tracks that DJs treasure, a timeless weapon, one of the top three defining singles of Mareen’s entire career.

And now for the 40th anniversary of its official release, Vintage Pleasure Boutique and Night’n Day Records drop the vinyl every collector and selector has been waiting for: a special reissue loaded with four brand-new remixes spanning the full spectrum of today’s underground indie/disco/italo/house energy.

Tallac - the American Berlin dweller - dives deep into the hypnotic soul of the original, pulling out its buried deep-house DNA and carving out a spacious, emotional roller.
Luksek, Italian producer & DJ, goes raw and dirty: loop-driven, gritty, underground, hypnotic, the kind of edit that eats dancefloors alive.

Flemming Dalum, the Danish Italo grandmaster, finally gets to remix the track he’d always dreamed of touching and of course it’s pure Flemingish electro-italo magic.
And the Polish sparkle: A.P. Mono delivers a shimmering mix of italo disco, glitterbox groove, disco glamour and synthwave glow, all while keeping the spirit of Mareen’s original heartbeat intact.
 
The wax also features two historical heavy-hitters: the 1985 Jens Lissat’s team remix and Luis Rodriguez’s original arrangement, essential cuts in the Mareen universe.

Mike Mareen - Dancing In The Dark (Tallac Remix)

In the far reaches of outer space, a child floats,
drifting through the void toward an unknowable beyond.
Nothingness surrounds them, save the blur of passing stars,
all alone in silence, lost in time.
A voice calls out. It says ‘child, be not afraid.’ 
That voice belongs to singer-songwriter Michael McDonald. 
He says that he will guide them, from darkness to light, 
to a gate only the truest of magic and purest of heart can open.
You are the child.
You hold the key.
You are the magic.
Will you open the door?
