Mark Knight Remixes Avicii & Sebastien Drums Anthem ‘My Feelings For You’

A unique pairing of Mark Knight remixing Avicii & Sebastien Drums is due 15th July on Australia’s leading electronic label Vicious Recordings. This was originally Avicii’s first #1 on Beatport and is already hallmarked as an essential summer anthem with Mark Knight’s latest interpretation. The hit song was Tim Bergling’s biggest release with Vicious alongside another 10 singles that were signed to the label who first discovered the talented producer.

This release forms the third release in the massive ‘30 Years of Vicious’ celebrations, as the independent label showcases their biggest hits and global chart toppers, reworked for 2022 by a stream of top producers including Mark Knight, Joshwa, The Cube Guys, Sgt Slick, PAX, CASSIMM, Super Disco Club, Mighty Mouse, Needs No Sleep, KPD, Soul Central, Hotmood and more.

Vicious Recordings 30th anniversary was kickstarted by Don Diablo’s remix of the same song, ‘My Feelings For You’ with all profits donated to the Tim Bergling foundation in honour of his friend and inspiration. It achieved #1 on Beatports Mainstage Chart and accrued over 1 million streams in its first week of release. Now hitting 5.2+ Million streams across all platforms it opens the floor to Mark Knight’s latest remix to further ignite clubland.

This ongoing success of this song, further proves the legacy and impact that Avicii holds in today’s industry. With this iconic song engaging a new audience, Mark Knight further adds his own footprint with great effect.

Mark’s signature house music sound has remained a staple of Beatport and Traxsource charts since they first started, not to mention on vinyl before the digital era of music began. Recognised as one of the world’s most well known DJs and producers, here Mark adds his own unique flavour to the almighty Avicii & Sebastien Drums hit. The Toolroom Records head honcho proves why he is considered one of the most sought after producers and remixers at present.

A powerful and funk fuelled house vibe is the recipe throughout this mix. Complete with original hooks blended seamlessly with Mark’s own trademark groove, he fluently punctuates the theme. The full vocal (attributed to the Gwen McCrae classic) teases with an energy that will lift any crowd. Adding a well timed Pete Tong sample that pays homage to Avicii’s long standing legacy Mark adds a sustained emotion to the track. Mark’s pivotal remix works on a myriad of levels and is already gaining favour with the world’s top DJ’s.

Here’s what Mark Knight had to say about the remix:

“It’s a big deal getting to remix Avicii. He’s without doubt one of the most talented producers we’ve ever seen – a modern day genius who was taken from us far too soon. I wanted to keep my remix sympathetic to the original while also putting my own stamp on it, so I took it back a little closer to the vibe of the Gwen McCrae source material – loosening things up a little and giving it a bit more of a disco flavour. I was honoured to be asked and I hope people connect with the results.”

This incredible new version is destined to fire up dancefloors across the world and respectfully give justice to the original club anthem that was created by one of the worlds most prominent electronic music superstars. Vicious Recordings are scheduled to announce a remix competition at the end of the season that will further highlight the importance of Avicii as an artist, in conjunction with the Tim Bergling Foundation to help mentor and nurture new talent with a sustained approach to personal wellbeing and positive label support.

“My Feelings For You” by Avicii & Sebastien Drums (Mark Knight Remix) is set for release this July 15th on Vicious.

Exclusive Interview with Romanian DJ and Producer Mahony

By
Marco Di
-

Our team got the opportunity to sit down for a very special interview with the extremely talented Maracine Razvan, a.k.a the Romanian DJ and producer Mahony.

Despite all his success, Mahony remains a down-to-earth guy. He was really polite and happy to answer all of our questions and we wish him the best for the rest of the year.

Check out the full interview below.

Hello, Mahony! It’s a pleasure to have you here with us! How are you? What have you been doing lately?

I’m doing great; it is a pleasure to be here!

I’m so happy we’re back to normality after these pandemic years. It’s a crowded period; I just returned from a tour. It was an amazing start of the season, with gigs all over the world. I am grateful for the tour I had in South America, 25 days, 11 gigs, and a lot of beautiful people. Barcelona followed, where I had a surprise from Luciano. He invited me for a back-to-back gig, and the atmosphere was crazy! The next stop is Ibiza, and we hope this summer will continue in the same line.

You have been part of the Romanian gang of DJs for such a long time. You have developed a passion for electronic music since high school. We are in 2022, and you are still on the stage. When did you know you were going to make DJing a career?

I really didn’t stop, and I won’t stop! For me, the passion for music is fuel for life!
I knew I would make a career in DJing in 2006 when I first stepped into my favorite venue, “Kristal Club” in Bucharest, Romania; at that time, James Zabiela was invited. I still remember that the meeting with James fascinated me. I understood why music followed me everywhere, and I realized that no matter how hard it was, the sound would always be there, guiding me.

As a DJ, you were part of what the beginning of club culture in Romania meant; You started your career as a resident in Kudos, then you were a resident of a legendary club, Kristal. You have been invited to the big techno events from Off Sonar to BPM. What is it like to be a DJ in Romania? Was there a time when you wanted to give up?

It’s beautiful; I’m honored to be among the first DJs to open the borders for what the international gig market meant. At the same time, I congratulate my colleagues; together, we put Romania on the electronic music map, which mattered a lot for a region in Eastern Europe that did not have so much openness before. DJ life is full of ups and downs, but I never thought about giving up; it would mean denying all my work, passion, and devotion to this profession.

You seem to be a fan of a fusion of musical genres, but what is your favorite style?

My approach is eclectic; I don’t have a specific style. I like mixing different musical types from tech to house, minimal to electronic. Imagination is important! I like to make my edits with the hip-hop inclusion; I’m a big fan of hip-hop. Not many people know that I was a break dancer as a child, and I approached the hip-hop area. I also support the young generation, I go from retro to future and so on; I also appreciate the young and talented producers, and I believe that success comes from adaptation and perseverance, not from a certain style.

What makes the electronic music stage to be so special and unique?

DJs generally feed on the energy that the crowd share. Without an audience, you have no one to perform for, and without the vibe of this niche of listeners, we would not be so motivated to do better. I am always grateful to my fans because I would have never reached so far without their support.

If you could change something in this industry, what would you change?

The mentality! I have been merging with the international market for several years now, and I can admit that I have received a lot of support and tons of encouragement. The biggest surprise was when I realized that all my international colleagues support and help each other, and they can’t wait to start a collab. In our country, competition is seen and treated as something destructive. At the beginning of the year, I opened my label, “Take Notes,” created for young DJs at the beginning of their careers. Everything I saw, heard and wrote down helped me a lot. Now it’s my turn to pass on the lessons learned.

After 2 years of the pandemic, a long time when the event industry was on hold, the world is now open to events. What are your plans for this summer?

I can say that people are having more fun since returning from the pandemic. We have many plans, the calendar is full, and I can only be happy. I leave for Ibiza in the next period; I return to Neversea Festival in Constanta, Romania, the biggest beach festival in Europe. Then we have another stop in Ibiza, followed by Croatia, Turkey, Dubai, Greece, Corfu, Music on Paris, UNTOLD, Sunwaves, and many other departures around the world.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see Mahony performing live at the majestic Neversea festival in Constanta, Romania this weekend, because it will be one for the books!

Enigma of the electronic world, Claptone delivers one of summer 2022’s most in-demand remixes for his single debut on Defected.

An unmistakable homage to one of the 2000s most iconic club records by Rune, a prominent rubbery bassline and brassy saxophone hook give this ‘Calabria’ remix its warm familiarity sure to enthrall dancefloors.

Under his trademark Venetian guise, Claptone continues to be one of dance’s most majestic acts; fresh off the back of his lauded third studio album ‘Closer’ and with his spellbinding The Masquerade parties taking over iconic Ibiza club Pacha weekly all summer long, this Defected release continues to demonstrate an artist at the top of his game.

“Finally, summer’s here, and it’s a full-on worldwide festival summer. A long sunny Ibiza season has just started and all that obviously needs a soundtrack. So, here’s the essential track of all my recent sets, my very own take on ‘Calabria’. Sounding like bottled sun, bottled fun, bottled smiles. Wait why bottled? Just open that bottle and unleash all that positivity…” – Claptone

Henrik Schwarz drops remix of Ladysmith Black Mambazo track ‘Ayikh’ Indaw’ Enjengekhaya’

By
Marco Di

German dance music visionary Henrik Schwarz has remixed the Ladysmith Black Mambazo track ‘Ayikh’ Indaw’ Enjengekhaya’, out now on Gallo Record Company.

This brand-new rework sees Schwarz reimagine the Ladysmith Black Mambazo sonic story, placing the sound in an electronic music context while remaining true and respectful to its original writer – legendary Mambazo founder Joseph Shabalala.

It’s the latest Gallo Remixed release, a project that has generated interest from the global music creator community. This rework birthed from a historical mutual respect between Schwarz and Black Coffee, who recently acquired a stake in Gallo Records and was trusted to be the executive producer of Drake’s new album Honestly Nevermind.

One of the most recognisable names from the world of dance music, Henrik Schwarz has previously remixed tracks from the likes of Coldplay, Mary J. Blige and Foals. Also a composer, he has successfully maintained a balance between electronic music, classical and jazz, and between energetic, highly charged dance sets at huge techno events and concert performances in seated auditoriums. More recently he collaborated with Freestyle Man and Jimi Tenor on new single ‘Moabit’.

A Zulu male choral group singing in the local vocal styles of isicathamiya and mbube, Ladysmith Black Mambazo became known internationally after singing with Paul Simon on his 1986 album Graceland, and have won multiple awards, including five Grammys. Formed by Shabalala in 1960, the group became one of South Africa’s most prolific recording outfits, with many of their releases receiving gold and platinum disc honours.

A vibrant cross-continental collaboration, the Henrik Schwarz remix of ‘Ayikh’ Indaw’ Enjengekhaya’ breathes fresh energy into the lauded original.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse announces new “YAP” EP with Exclusive video

By
Marco Di
-

Kollektiv Turmstrasse releases new EP, YAP, on 1st July. The 3-track-release marks the first new material since 2019, presenting an ever-evolving sound that channels the legacy of the artist’s dancefloor savvy roots combined with a playful exploration of the lighter sides of house and techno.

Kolllektiv Turmstrasse steers into unexplored sonic territory and an introspective space with this new EP. Meticulous production skills combined with a soulful joy shine through with opening track, “YAP“. The track is a celebration of the pure and euphoric feelings human beings develop for one another (“You Are Perfect”), and demands the listener shimmies, shakes and forgets the outside world.

The track starts on a methodical and hypnotic trajectory until vocals, synths, snares and hi-hats fly in from all angles to create a mosaic of grooving sound. Kollektiv Turmstrasse has a knack for blending multiple genres in one track, and the R&B vocals adding an unexpected garage flavour. With “YAP“, Kollektiv Turmstrasse creates a musical alchemy, occupying that dreamy space between evolution and nostalgia.

“Terror” is a high-energy electro banger that conjures images of malfunctioning robots or a rogue Pac-Man. Using a variety of vocal styles, the track touches on themes of societal change, capitalism, inequality and power struggles. The artist wrote this track in the midst of lockdown after a decade of non-stop touring, so it champions a mixture of emotions – relief at having the space to be creative alongside a sense of yearning for the dance floor.

“I’m OK” plays with the limits and edges of house and minimal, combining 4:4 rhythms with scattered synths and sharp vocals. The track explores our tendency to create facades to cover our inner turmoil, reflected through builds and drops that add tension and texture, while giving a packed out dance floor no choice but to move.

Watch the video below.
