Following the release of their debut EP ‘Sarsen Cinema,’ Opal Drums, the collaborative project from UK turntablist/producer Jon1st and Denver-based electronic artist Mux Mool, now present Sarsen Cinema Remixed, a collection that reimagines their debut EP through the lens of a diverse group of forward-thinking producers.
Where the original ‘Sarsen Cinema’ EP explored the duo’s fascination with sonic world-building, conjuring an atmosphere of colossal, breathing monoliths whose presence evokes awe, fear, and revelation, the remix collection expands that universe into new emotional and kinetic territories.
Each artist brings their own mythology to the world of Opal Drums, refracting the EP’s themes through distinct rhythmic languages and sound palettes.
DMVU transforms “Runes” into a towering, sub-heavy incantation, exuding a prismatic, shape-shifting bass experience. Pounding 808s, mutated percussion, and glistening high-end detail evoke a feeling that the monoliths themselves are pulsing with coded messages. DMVU’s rework heightens the tension of the source material, pushing its mythic energy into a brighter territory.
Arcane expands “From The Grove” into a lush, smoke-lit 160bpm soundscape, blending its organic rhythmic roots with a deep reese bass and atmospheric weight. Arcane’s remix feels both grounded and otherworldly, widening the track’s emotional arc while maintaining its sense of curiosity and spiritual searching.

Anna Morgan delivers a lush 170bpm jungle reimagining of “Ultraviolet” that feels both ghostly and electrically alive. Her take pushes the track into a ‘haunted’, high-frequency dimension, where glitching breaks and whispered atmospherics flicker like ultraviolet signals from another realm.
Sinistarr rewires “Sunset Hex” into a futuristic, percussive territory, reverberating with hypnotic tension, a rhythmic architecture and sub bass pressure. With its sharp, agile motion the remix captures the exhilaration of approaching an unknown force.
Nikes delivers a sub heavy footwork remix to the collection with his interpretation of “Sarsen Cinema” that is as uplifting and warm as it is raw and intense. Its warm bridges and hypnotic use of the original’s vocal chop hook evoke a reflective nocturnal journey balancing cinematic progression with dreamy percussion.
Frythm & Seyaa close the collection by offering a glowing, meditative reinterpretation of “Sarsen Cinema” rich with melodic texture and mesmerizing ambience. Featuring an original vocal by Seyaa, their remix leans into emotional resonance and organic fluidity, creating an almost ceremonial presence.
Much like the original EP, the remixes explore themes of uncertainty, transformation, and perception filtered through the imaginations of artists who each bring their own histories, techniques, and worlds.
The remixes mark the next evolution of the Opal Drums universe, expanding its scope and hinting at future transmissions to come in 2026 and beyond.
