[Premiere] Boxcar - Comet (Romain FX 'Cosmic Wave' Remix Ft. STL - P) (out on Fauve records)

Was he awake or asleep? It was hard to tell. Though objects seemed tangible, he felt as if he were floating above, detached from his body - simply a passenger in his own life. These instances had become more and more frequent, his inability to distinguish reality now consumed his every thought, maybe the two were never discernible in the first place... He'd been backed into a never-ending state of confusion - the question remained: had he lost his mind or his body?

Elroi and Ori Raz are the team behind a brand spanking new label on the scene, Liquid Memory Records. Operating out of Berlin, the vinyl-only imprint springs into life with a Various Artists release featuring music from the co-owners, both solo and together under the guise of Serenity Now. Each side harnesses a different energy: the A-side is a slab of pumping progressive house and acid-soaked breakbeats, while on the flip their joint efforts produce two blissed-out, twinkling dream house cuts to drift away to. Perfectly primed for late nights and early mornings, the record sets a precedent for what we can expect from the label and its co-founders in the future.

Multifaceted London artist, producer and Rinse FM host ELLES unveils remix EP A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes featuring new edits of her debut album from Real Lies, Whitney Weiss, Martyn Bootyspoon and ELLES herself. A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes lands 11th April on all platforms.

A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Remixes takes ELLES debut album, A Celebration Of The Euphoria Of Life - a love letter to London nightlife written during lockdowns, sonically impressionistic of club environments - to the dancefloor for real across five edits from Martyn Bootyspoon, Whitney Weiss, Real Lies and ELLES herself, mastered by Photonz. With club sounds forefronted, these addictive new remixes evoke a spectrum of sounds from warehouse rave grit to hands-in-the-air euphoria, and even blissed out chill. 

Kicking off proceedings, ELLES turns the lens on herself for a rave-ready version of ‘Anthem’. From its oneeric piano house referencing origins, the remix cranks up tempo and volume with UKG as its rhythmic touchstone. Maintaining the emotive essence of the original whilst sprinkling in a healthy dose of dancefloor hedonism, ELLES combines dreamy touches and melodic undertones with glitchy beeps and gravelly bass offsetting her glacial Sprechgesang vox. She says: ‘Anthem’ is at its core about grief and desire and how the escapism of the club can help process. This version is built more for the club environment it references - still emotive but speaking to a more hedonistic energy.”

Hot (and hornt) on its heels is celebrated Montreal-based artist and producer Martyn Bootyspoon’s blistering edit of ‘Sex’. ELLES’ sultry after-hours indie-sleaze ‘tribute to after party hookups that mask a deeper desire for connection - part of the bittersweet tapestry of adventures in the night explored over the album’s course’ goes for a salacious night spin to the rave with Bootyspoon on typically raucous duties. ‘Sex’ is transformed it into a glorious blaze of club filth, 3310 ringtones reverberating through a system-shattering bassline, checking us in for the night at the harder end of house.

Headsy euphoria is the order of the day on London electronic duo and suburban dreamers, Real Lies’ remix, whose yearning club-inspired sound has made them cult faves and won big support from the likes of R1’s Jack Saunders and more. Their take on ‘Afterglo’, ELLES’ radiant album sign-off track, is a symphony of irresistible breaks and rising synths, offsetting the lush strings and vox of the original, hands in the air and tears-in-the-club guaranteed on this captivating club edit. 

Berlin-based, Rinse France host and Chinotto Records head Whitney Weiss steps up to give ‘Hope’ its dues with a behemoth acid rework. Whitney’s provenance as a marathon DJ at some of Argentina’s wildest underground parties are fully evidenced in their ability to make a dance floor erupt. This belter of a remix touches all the sweet spots of acid house, taking in a DJ’s DJ worth of references from Sparks to Spiritualized along the way. Bumping, distinctive and huge!

Closing out the EP is ELLES’ heart-stopping orchestral version of ‘Out 2 4get’, in this stunning reimagining guitar basslines and stomping kicks are swapped out for lush string arrangements and ambient textural detail, taking the original from a brattish Britpop-y night of excesses to a cinematic heartfelt sense of longing. Edits don’t come much more moving  than this.
