Following the warm underground reception of Niki Sadeki's Blue Dream / A Sunday In August EP, released in March 2024 on Manual Deep, a remix edition felt not just natural, but necessary. Two standout artists take the originals into fresh, intriguing territory: Öona Dahl and Mila Stern.

Öona Dahl delivers a rework of Blue Dream, weaving deep textures and subtle psychedelia into a remix that feels both timeless and transportive-a true heads-down journey. Meanwhile, Mila Stern takes A Sunday In August in a bolder direction, elevating the energy with a classy melodic techno edge while still honoring the underground roots of the original.

A thoughtful and compelling reinterpretation from two visionary producers, this remix EP adds new layers to Sadeki's emotive soundscape-essential listening for discerning selectors and deep-dive listeners alike.

Goud (Gold) is about that magical moment when you close your eyes facing the sun, everything turns red, and then (when you open your eyes) gold comes rushing toward you.

Luke van Veen captured this familiar sensation in a poem, which eventually became the foundation for this song. When Engelbert & QuiQui heard the lyrics, they immediately recognized a connection with a track they were working on at the time.

The collaboration between Engelbert & QuiQui came together quickly after just a few messages back and forth. Not long after, they met in Engelbert's studio, where the foundation for the EP Goud was laid.

In the studio, they shared their favorite and nostalgic tracks, which sparked a shared musical vision. From that mutual inspiration, songs like Signal and Reflections were born.

Tracklist:
01. Island Hill & Of Norway - In My Mind 
02. Island Hill & Of Norway - In My Mind (Ivory Remix)
03. Island Hill & Of Norway - In My Mind (Budakid Remix)

Release Info: 
Island Hill & Of Norway intertwine in a shimmering blend of indie and deep house with ‘In My Mind.’

This track is a meeting of worlds - a dreamy collision where raw emotion meets rhythmic elegance. Island Hill, the international indie band stirring hearts and catching winds across borders, brings their signature vocals, rich with longing and storytelling. Of Norway, the seasoned duo sculpting timeless deep house soundscapes, answers with warmth, depth, and groove. Together, they’ve created a track that feels like dusk on the dancefloor - both intimate and infinite.

And then, the remixes arrive - each one a new chapter in the story.

Ivory (IT), a sonic alchemist of melodic techno, delivers a remix that glows with restrained fire. Echoes of the original flicker through a forest of deep basslines and textured beats. The vocal, untouched yet transformed, floats like a memory you can dance to. It’s a track made for those midnight hours when time stretches and hearts open.

Budakid paints a different picture - subtle, graceful, and cinematic. With analog spikes and piano whispers, he turns ‘In My Mind’ into a moment of reflection and release. A soundscape where the beat guides you gently, and the melody holds your hand as you drift away.

PREMIERE: Q.U.A.K.E & Amethy - Ella (Original Mix) [Aphelion]

Sign up for The Goldmine to receive this release in HQ WAV format! drip.fm/foolsgoldrecs

Cubic Zirconia's soaring, piano-driven stomper "Take Me High" is one of the standouts from their new album Follow Your Heart. Club titan Bart B More gives it the full on rave treatment as only he can, twisting Tiombe Lockhart's vocals into a literal siren over massive synth lines and ecstatic, stadium-ready drum builds. There's a reason A-Trak starts his sets with it! Following a world premier from BBC DJ Annie Mac, Fool's Gold is proud to present all seven glorious minutes of Bart's remix (along with a handy short edit) on this brand new single, alongside the original "Take Me High" (complete with bonus instrumental and accapella versions).
