Canadian multi-instrumentalist Jex Opolis lays out a jubilant, latin house take on Ali X and Mafara's Mi Dios Mi Amor.

Be it through cassettes in the 90s, as part of Electro duo DVAS in the 00's, through hardware performance or through remixing the likes of Peggy Gou and Lenny Kraviz for XL in 2023 - Jex has stuck to his guns and expressed himself in singular fashion. His sound has remained celebratory, vibrant and floor focused and his revision of Mi Dios Mi Amor is right in line with his canon.

A tight, bossy groove kicks things off as a deep-set organ rebounds off ecstasy drenched stabs and a firm, bouncing kick drum. Vocals slap in, percussion keeps hustling and while a classy string is gently draped in overhead. A playful mid-section opens out allowing space for warped, fanged bass licks and some chorus vocals.

Feverish sequencing keeps the energy right up as short breakdowns kick back quick right until the finals bars. A radio edit and a dub provide functional variety to an already potent recording that harnesses all of the picante verve of the original.

Ali X – Mi Dios Mi Amor Feat. Mafara (Jex Opolis Stripped Down Remix) (Exploited Club)

Two taches intertwine. An EP born out of Demi’s visit to Melbourne during his AU tour, and Luke’s easily accessible studio based above an inviting pub, naturally the vibes were high after a couple of schooners in the summer sun.’

Life & Death welcomes a standout collaboration from Demi Riquísimo and Luke Alessi with the release of their new EP ‘Yes Bby’ landing 29 August 2025. Setting themselves the brief of, “upbeat rollers and a little bit of naughtiness,” the two producers blend their sonic identities on this club-ready two tracker, formed of ‘Basement Trash’ and title track ‘Yes Bby’.

“Basement Trash was actually the first track we wrote. A funky, fun, hypnotic groover that locks you in on the d floor, made for those late nights (or early mornings) in the “basement” of a grungy club.

For ‘Yes Bby’ we wanted something that worked on a bigger scale. We dialled up the French rave synths, bigger builds, more drive in the groove and added a cheeky classic vocal chop for the hook.”
– Demi Riquísimo & Luke Alessi

Known for his genre-blending productions and distinctive edits, Semi Delicious head honcho Demi has steadily carved out his space in the scene, a respected tastemaker and Ibiza mainstay, while Luke Alessi has continued to establish a global profile over the last 12 months with major European and US gigs, plus releases on Shall Not Fade, SMiiLE records and of course Life & Death, making this pairing a natural fit.

Already receiving support from the likes of Chloé Caillet, Call Super, Moxie and more, ‘Yes Bby’ marks an exciting moment in both artists’ trajectories. For Demi, this EP also serves as the first in a new chapter, one that places him at the centre of a more collaborative space, setting the tone for
landmark projects to follow on his own imprint later this year.

As one of dance music’s most respected tastemakers, Life & Death continues to shape the global underground through its diverse output, with ‘Yes Bby’ slotting seamlessly into the label’s catalogue of playful, sexy and forward-thinking club music.

Yes Bby

Label: Pilot (UK)
Artist: Occibel
Format: Vinyl + Digital
Cat. Number: PILOT23
Release Date: 29th August 2025
Vinyl: https://www.deejay.de/Occibel_PILOT_23_PILOT23_Vinyl__1151845
Digital: https://www.beatport.com/fr/release/pilot23/5232188

The 23rd flight from the Pilot label run by Burnski is a future-facing blend of tech, disco and house with a real intergalactic aesthetic. 'It's Your Duty' opens with a grinding bassline and snappy drums that soon get you marching, then 'Save Our Planet' (dub) spins out with some silky celestial melodies and twitchy drum funk. 'Nothing To Hide' glistens with some sci-fi charm as the tight drums and bulbous bassline move things onwards, and 'Strolling The River' shuts down with another disco-tech sound that is lit up with sugar melodies and boogie motifs.
