This spring saw seasoned XYZ contributor Koelle team up with multi-instrumentalist Reza Safinia on Reverie, a two-sided offering which saw the union of electronic tones and orchestral influences into a dance floor affair. As the fall arrives to Montréal, we're pleased to present our biggest remix compilation to date. 6 artists from the over the broad melodic house & techno spectrum will offer their versions of the tracks over the weeks to come. Here is Vol.1 of the Reverie remixes, featuring Lovecraft, Niki Sadeki and Ian O'Donovan.

Lovecraft takes his time to set the mood on his take of 'Reverie'. Floating chords rest on an arp which keeps on building up until the break. That's when the main hook comes in, carried by a rolling bassline continuously building in energy.

Offering the first remix of ‘Into The Woods' is Niki Sadeki. Her take on the song embraces an upfront arpeggio and a pumping ride cymbal. These core elements offer the backdrop as the arrangement is rounded by chimes, lush pads and counter-melodies.

True to his style that made him a pillar of the label since the early years, Ian O'Donovan goes in with a proper roller of a tune, first establishing a riding hat groove laying on the bass progression. The iconic horn from the original is then unleashed, leading into a break which sees the harmony develop in full effect. O'Donovan finally sprinkles an acid layer to the bass, an exclamation point to the driving track.

Koelle, Reza Safinia - Reverie (Ian O'Donovan Remix)

Rooted in Amsterdam’s vibrant electronic music scene, it amazingly took me 25 years (during one of the Covid-19 lockdowns) to discover mixing was a hidden passion of me as a way to share my love for music with others. 

I have a broad musical taste and like a wide range of (electronic) music styles from organic and deep house to progressive house as well as house and (melodic) techno - as long as I believe it is beautiful music or otherwise has something to it worth listening to.

Inspired by the likes of industry giants such as Paul van Dyk, Tom Harding, John Digweed, Sasha, Hernán Cattáneo, Joseph Capriati, Adam Beyer, Tiësto, Solomun, Keinemusik, Tale of Us, Joris Voorn, Guy J, Mind Against, Sébastien Léger, Eelke Kleijn, Jamie Stevens, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Oliver Koletzki and many many more.

Resident DJ @ Bar aan de Kade, Amsterdam and @ Club Marnifesto, Amsterdam

Since his early steps as a DJ in the legendary parisian Palace club in the middle of the 90’s, PIERRE DE PARIS devoted himself to electronic sounds. He mostly played in Europe for bars, clubs, festivals and major events as the Gay Pride. His style in two words : house & techno ! He masters various genres, from deep house to melodic techno. From the vinyl periode to the MP3 area, he is still making “𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓 𝘔𝘐𝘟 𝘍𝘖𝘙 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓 𝘔𝘐𝘟 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘙𝘚”. All this time, he met great creators of dance music. Even if some labels suggested him, he decided not to become a producer, considering that the release of his tracks would not change the history of music. He prefers to concentrate 100% on his DJ sets and podcasts, always promoting the finest electronic music of the artists he admires. This attitude makes him a very respected man. In 2022, he founded ELECTRO RADIO PODCAST, a hi-quality show place for his friends DJ-Producers. After 30 years of carreer, PIERRE DE PARIS is now considered as a reference on the underground electro scene in France.

After a career as a bedroom DJ started in the mid-90s, which allowed me to mix in a few bars, in Oberkampf and the Montorgueil street in Paris, I started a career as a producer a few years ago, still in my bedroom :)
My goal is to transcribe the emotions that I could feel by listening to DJ mixes like Laurent Garnier for instance, or tracks from other less famous artists.

Après une carrière de DJ en chambre commencée dans le milieu des années 90, qui m'a permise de mixer dans quelques bars, à Oberkampf et la rue Montorgueil, j'entame depuis quelques années une carrière de producteur, toujours en chambre :)
Mon but est de retranscrire les émotions que j'ai pu ressentir en écoutant des mixes de DJ comme Laurent Garnier par exemple, ou des morceaux d'autres artistes moins célèbres.
