Aera Inaugurates Innervisions’ New Mix Format with Versions

Versions – the remarkable first instalment in a brand new mix concept from Berlin-based imprint Innervisions – is released now, courtesy of German DJ and producer Aera.

Embarking on a captivating excursion of left-field electronica, trip-hop and down-tempo sound palettes, Versions sees the Applied Magic label head revisit and reimagine some of the most notable records from his extensive back catalogue, as he delivers an impressive opus of edits that explores the more experimental side of his diverse sonic repertoire.

Giving us a different insight into his acutely honed craft as a multi-faceted producer, the in-demand German pulls reference from a plethora of realms beyond what many perceive to be his immediate musical home.

Returning to Innervisions following an emphatic contribution to Secret Weapons Part 14 with Acido back in June, Versions shines a light on Aera’s innate passion for the cross-pollination of genres, as he marks the beginning of a new mix series format on Dixon & Âme’s esteemed Berlin-based imprint.

Speaking about the album, Aera commented:

For a long time, I wanted to revisit some of my older tracks and put them into a completely new context, outside of the world of dancefloor bangers and the hunt for the next big track ID.

Now don’t get me wrong – I love this world, but I always knew there could be something more than this. With this record, I wanted to reference the heroes of my youth: Ninja Tune’s golden era, DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing, Massive Attack, K&D Sessions, and so on.

James Hype delivers high energy tech house banger ‘Crank’ on Tomorrowland Music

British DJ & producer James Hype is revealing his brand-new sizzling tech house banger ‘Crank’, released through Tomorrowland Music. James Hype emerged as ‘one to watch’ from the UK’s house music scene, known for his technical mastery behind the decks and powerful bootlegs and remixes.

He quickly climbed the ranks building out a profile as a force to be reckoned with thanks to his multi-platinum selling hit ‘More Than Friends‘ and his latest global smash hit and chart topper ‘Ferrari‘.

Arguably one of the most technically gifted DJs in the world has now created another high-energy and infectious tech house floor filler – the perfect fuel for any party, which will have listeners heading straight to the dancefloor!

James Hype: “I feel like ‘Crank’ is me getting experimenting around house and techno – my production laptop broke so I had to use a backup for a while with an old version of Ableton and barely any of my sounds and samples, so I made this purely as a vibe for the clubs.”

Crank‘ is part of a collection of festival releases by Tomorrowland Music under this year’s festival theme ‘The Reflection of Love‘, celebrating the return of Tomorrowland after three years by gathering some of the biggest artists in electronic music on Tomorrowland‘s record imprint. James Hype performed at the iconic Tomorrowland Mainstage during the second festival weekend on Sunday July 24.

elrow reveals the full lineup for its new theme Delusionville by Ron English

As the world turns, the cultural and entertainment industry is generating new and surprising ideas to surprise and satisfy the desires of dance music lovers. In order to respond to this call, elrow joins forces with the American artist Ron English to offer, on October 1, at Amnesia Ibiza, an unrepeatable show in which avant-garde art and electronic music mix with the idea to provide a performance never seen before and in which the public is an active part of the work.

“At elrow, we are fascinated by creative, visionary and daring minds. We are always working on breaking the limits of our shows. Now we want to impress our fans again, no more and no less, with a tailor-made collaboration with Ron English, the “godfather of Street Art””, add Juan Arnau.

Ron English is one of the most influential street artists of all time. Born in Illinois (USA) and living in New York, his unique universe has inspired urban artists worldwide. Ron‘s work includes bizarre and surreal characters ranging from three-eyed rabbits to crazy clowns, featuring references from pop culture, the advertising industry, and cartoons where you’ll recognize plenty of famous icons from Western culture.

“In this project, we immersed ourselves in Ron’s limitless imagination to create together a concept that will be unlike anything you’ve seen before,” says elrow founder Juan Arnau, who proposes us to be fun and irreverent on a magical date.

For this project, Ron‘s universe moves to one of the most legendary clubs on the white island, Amnesia Ibiza, hand in hand with an entertainment company and accompanied by one of the most internationally renowned artists, such as the British Norman Quentin Cook, better known as Fat Boy Slim.

Together with Cook, Eats Everything, Bastian Bux, Tini Gessler and Kölsch will be in charge of drawing a soundscape according to a surreal, chaotic and multisensory set design.

The theme debut is Delusionville and will be a live reinterpretation of the famous POPaganda art movement, the fruit of the imagination of the well-known “godfather of street art”, Ron English. “I think life is more exciting if you do things your way, even if it’s not in the way or in the order that everyone expects,” explains Ron English of Delusionville‘s leitmotif. This theme is an itinerant initiative that will travel, making stops in the main world capitals of culture and entertainment.

Ron English has spent more than 30 years working at Delusionville and elrow would love to honour this incredible work in the closing party on October 1st at Amnesia Ibiza.

DJ Tennis & Carlita remix Diplo & Damian Lazarus’ “Don’t Be Afraid (feat. Jungle)”

Following the release of the deluxe version of Diplo’s self-titled album, DJ Tennis curates an all-star line-up of artists from his Life and Death label roster to remix tracks from acclaimed LP. Showcasing the synergy and close relationship of Diplo and DJ Tennis and their respective imprints, Higher Ground and Life and Death, the remix EP arrives as an extremely limited edition 12″ vinyl pressing that will be out alongside digital.

Here’s what DJ Tennis had to say about the remix package:

‘My good friend and colleague Sam from Higher Ground approached me after a party and asked me if I was interested in curating a remix package for Wes and I didn’t have to think twice.

My instincts were right and the results are amazing. The musical diversity of the remixes, on limited edition vinyl with a limited edition clothing collab…a perfect match. I’ve been following Diplo for years as his musical journey and vision has always been an inspiration for me. A multifaceted character and true original, he’s a genuine producer and has grown to become a dear friend.’

Diplo dived into the house music that first blew the now Grammy winning & chart-topping producers mind as a teenager. A titan of electronic music, he turned his focus back to these roots. ‘Diplo (Life and Death Remixes)‘ features productions from across the original album including the Grammy-nominated “On My Mind” with SIDEPIECE.

“I’ve admired Manfredi (DJ Tennis) as a producer, DJ, label owner, and friend for years now. His Life and Death imprint has been one of the most consistent labels in house music for a long time, and when we started the Higher Ground concept, he was one of the first guys that understood what we were trying to do: break down genre boundaries and tie sounds and scenes together.

Manfredi supported us from the beginning. As a result, there’s great energy between Higher Ground and Life and Death, we’ve played a bunch of shows together and we’re constantly trading music. When I dropped my self-titled album this year, I thought it would be a great opportunity to create something to showcase this, so we put together this pack of remixes.”Diplo

From the suave and expansive sounds of DJ Tennis and Carlita‘s remix of ‘Don’t Be Afraid‘, the mesmerizing and complex drum patterns of Red Axes‘ rendition of ‘Right 2 Left‘, to a complete reimagination of BĘÃTFÓØT & Ashee‘s ‘Forget About Me (Nite Version)’ & Danny Daze’s Sun & Waves mix of collaborative Seth Troxler track, DJ Tennis has molded an impressive collection of remixes from Life and Death artists, bringing energy from all directions.

Carlita has been turning heads – and for a very good reason. Now based out of New York City, the Turkish-Italian artist is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist who is part of the underground’s most elite circles. She’s renowned for playing unique stages internationally; from Burning Man to Tesla’s Giga Factory opening and more. This summer, she’s turned up the heat with her project by getting her hands on numerous impressive ventures.

Earlier this month, her official remix of RÜFÜS DU SOL’s track “See You Again” was released as a part of their ‘SURRENDER REMIXES’ album, alongside remixing artists like Adriatique, Colyn, Dom Dolla, and more. On September 5th Carlita presented her Cercle set from the mythical Cinecittà Studios in Rome, Italy.
