Batikan Tanrikulu, Fidac - Let It Drop (TWIINS Remix)

Gobi Desert Collective’s remix of Azadi by Dan Bay is a finely crafted journey through deep, hypnotic grooves and immersive soundscapes. 

Built on a warm, rolling bassline and meticulously placed percussion, the track balances rhythmic drive with atmospheric depth. A recurring, mantra-like synth motif weaves through spacious reverb and airy pads, creating an evolving emotional core. The arrangement unfolds patiently, with breakdowns that strip the groove to its essence before rebuilding layer by layer. 

Subtle automation, textured delays, and detailed stereo placement give the production both clarity and richness. Each element feels intentional, from the understated kick to the shimmering highs, resulting in a sound that’s club-ready yet cinematic. By respecting the soul of the original while infusing it with their signature touch, Gobi Desert Collective delivers a remix that’s as compelling on a late-night dancefloor as in an intimate setting. 

Out August 29 on Kamai Music.

Biomes (Aparde Remix)

Berlin-based DJ and production duo Tale of Us take a step back from their busy touring and production schedule to compile the latest instalment of Renaissance's 'The Mix Collection' series. 

“We put this mix together in Mexico, looking out at a beautiful sea in a magical spot in the Yucatan, surrounded by friends and label mates as we recovered from an intense new year's and BPM rush. It was the perfect setting to take on something like this, looking back at the year behind us, not concerned so much by genres and boundaries as much as by assembling a musical picture of where we're at, where we've been and most importantly a little bit of where we're going. Each of the two mixes is a journey unto itself but together they can be seen as our musical chiaroscuro, reflecting a bit of the two sides of the way we think both about DJing and producing. It's hard to confine ourselves to just over 2 hours when there is so much music we've fallen in love with but this is the best reflection of this moment in time for us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.”
- Tale of Us – Jan 2013

Throughout their first mix the duo move effortlessly between the driving aesthetics of Kollektiv Turmstrasse and anthemic highs of Scuba to more experimental and angular remixes from Baths and Four Tet. The second mix takes a distinctly more mininal approach, with the textures of Daniel Avery, Recondite, Robert Hood and Extrawelt's productions taking the driving seat and remixes from the likes of Donato Dozzy and DJ Koze switching up already excellent originals. Across both mixes Tale of Us have managed to balance the deep, melodic, upbeat and sometimes more challenging elements of electronic music through careful selection and programming to ensure both have the flow and finesse that listeners have come to expect of a Renaissance release.

Tale of Us are certainly no strangers to the decks, between throwing their own 'Just This' secret loft parties in Milan, regular fixtures at renowned clubs such as Berlin's Watergate, Ibiza's DC10 as well as live and DJ sets at festivals such as Sonar and Movement. Alongside this, their productions have caught the attention of Seth Troxler, Shaun Reeves, Ryan Crosson and Lee Curtiss, who released their debut EP on Visionquest in 2011. 

The Mix Collection series saw it's inaugural 1994 release from Sasha & John Digweed, who set a new standard for the DJ compilation format. Since then Renaissance has undergone a musical shift, with recent contributions from M.A.N.D.Y., Gui Boratto and now Tale of Us helping to bring the original spirit of the brand to a new generation of music aficionados.
