Maceo Plex remixes Perry Farrell’s ‘Let’s All Pray For This World’

Originally premiered on BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong, Techno DJ and producer, Maceo Plex unveils his latest single – Two official remixes of Perry Farrell’s ‘Let’s All Pray For This World’.

Holding a deep admiration for the work of Perry Farrell along with taking part of his name from the Jane’s Addiction track, ‘My Cat’s Name Is Maceo‘, ‘Let’s All Pray For This World‘ (Maceo Plex Remixes) are available to purchase and stream from today.

World-renowned musician Perry Farrell has been at the forefront of music, culture and festivals for over 30 years. The American trendsetter and frontman of Jane’s Addiction has had a lifelong passion for dance music, citing influences throughout his career and being a pivotal figure in the setting up of the highly regarded ‘Lollapalooza festival‘ which spans seven countries.

He returns in 2020 with whispers of a very special retrospective project in the making, and enlists Maceo Plex for two contrasting remixes of ‘Let’s All Pray For This World‘.

Featuring an electro mix that channels the aura of classic Detroit electro, tremulating vocal samples drift across syncopated 808 kicks and crisp, piercing hi-hats. Rolling toms and eerie synth pads bolster the timeless vocals of Perry Farrell throughout the uplifting blend of euphoric keys and deep, growling low-end.

Reimagining the track into a second remix, which was premiered and described by BBC Radio 1’s Pete Tong as “The perfectly titled, Maceo Plex’s ‘Glitchy’ remix of Perry Farrell’s ‘Let’s All Pray For This World’“, Maceo Plex dives into his trademark sounds, merging a driving 4/4 kick drum with audio glitches. Complimented by small snippets of the anthemic chorus, the hard-hitting dance floor remix is a true rework of the original.

With both official remixes released now, the single has received a flurry of early support from industry peers and like-minded artists, including Rob da Bank, Danny Howard, Anja Schneider, Danny Rampling, John Digweed, R&S Records founder Renaat Vandepapeliere and many more.

The leading electronic producer, artist and live act, Maceo Plex‘s accolades are in abundance. The figurehead behind the seminal underground label, ‘Ellum Audio‘, Maceo Plex has released four studio albums, mix compilations for London’s fabric and !K7’s DJ-Kicks series, along with an impressive catalogue of productions under his Mariel Ito and Maetrik aliases.

Along with curating several BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix’s, headlining global festivals and gracing the cover of many a magazine from Mixmag to DJ Mag, Maceo Plex has also remixed artists including Coldcut, Röyksopp, GusGus, DJ T, Maribou State and more. Most recently, Maceo Plex has set plans in motion to launch a new multidimensional sensory, live show experience titled ‘M³‘.

Originally released in October of 2000, as the first single from critically acclaimed Fatboy Slim album ‘Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars’, ‘Sunset (Bird of Prey)’ receives a fresh dancefloor rework with London based disco collective, Horse Meat Disco’s ‘Clouds In The Sky’ remix.

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of an original Big Beat anthem that saluted in Norman Cook‘s third studio album, the remix is officially out, keeping the Glastonbury spirit alive as it coincides with the date Fatboy Slim would have been headlining The Other Stage.

With a high-level of mutual respect between the two artists, Horse Meat Disco were approached by Norman to remix this classic and definitive single. The four-strong collective have breathed new life into the Big Beat classic, repurposing it for 2020’s airwaves.

A name ingrained into the UK House and Dance music scene and ringmaster of the Acid House generation, Fatboy Slim has long since established himself as world-wide party phenomenon. With a career that spans over 35 years, 4-studio albums, countless singles and tours across the globe, he formed into an idol for many of the DJ’s we see gracing the stages today, one of those being London disco collective Horse Meat Disco.

Since 2004, the quartet consisting of four members Luke Howard, Severino Panzetta, James Hillard and Jim Stanton, have pledged to resuscitate the original dance music scene and promote their brand of Disco shenanigans to a world-wide platform.

Holding residences across the world, they have continued to re-structure the clubbing pyramid as creative, freewheeling bastions of the disco era. From Boiler Room regulars to Channel 4, from Rinse FM to a BBC Radio 1 ‘Essential Mix’ the group have continuously developed their craft, honing they sights on their first studio album, ‘Love and Dancing‘ coming later this year; a record gilded with the fleet-footed spirit of their disco forebears.

Horse Meat Disco aim their remix firmly at the dancefloors of the world and bring ‘Sunset (Bird of Prey)‘ soaring into 2020 with their ‘Clouds In The Sky‘ remix.

Fatboy Slim – ‘Sunset (Bird of Prey)‘ (Horse Meat Disco‘s Clouds In The Sky Remix) is available now on digital platforms and 29th August on Vinyl via Skint Records (BMG).

Armin van Buuren unveils ‘Hollow’, his new collaboration with AVIRA feat. Be No Rain

When the haunting tones of ‘Hollow’ first popped up on the radar as an ID – ID, few could’ve guessed that Armin van Buuren and AVIRA were the ones responsible. Also featuring British singer-songwriter Be No Rain, the record sees the five-time #1 DJ in the world explore new ground in tandem with Canadian rising star AVIRA, using their unique perspectives to great effect.

‘Hollow‘ shows a remarkable synergy between the respective sounds of its creators. Dragging listeners in with its dark synth lines and the characteristic vocals of London’s Be No Rain, this record offers that touch of sophistication that pushes listeners to find out what else lies beneath the surface.

Here’s what Armin van Buuren had to say about ‘Hollow‘:

“I’ve been a big fan of the Melodic Techno/Tech House scene, as you’ve all probably heard during my warm-up set for A State Of Trance 950. It has inspired me so much that I wanted to explore that sound myself, and I loved the amazing records AVIRA put out on Armada Music recently.

I contacted him to see if he would be interested in working together on a new record and I was stoked when he said yes.’Hollow’ is what we made of it, and I couldn’t be happier with the end result.”

Armin van Buuren AVIRA – Hollow feat Be No Rain

AVIRA: “The idea for ‘Hollow’ was to bridge a gap between all dance music lovers. Whether they’re into progressive house, melodic techno or trance, we wanted to take the listeners on a journey of our vision for the future of dance music. ‘Hollow’ turned out exactly the way we wanted and is a great start to all things still to come.”

Be No Rain: “The instrumental that Armin and AVIRA sent me had such a beautiful contour, it moved from total sparsity to something harmonically opulent. I thought it sounded like the process of salvation that can be triggered by love.

The lyrics are about a man who feels severed from the world around him. Slowly he’s coaxed out of this alienation by the love that he’s found. As the richness of the final chord progression seeps in, he finds himself restored and the vocals give way to the pure, joyous catharsis of the drop.”

Techno DJ and producer Reinier Zonneveld is back with another brilliant rework of a true classic. After remixing ‘Resurrection’ by Edward Artemiev, Reinier is now revealing his spin on the iconic trance classic ‘The First Rebirth’ by Jones & Stephenson.

The release is a collaboration between his very own label Filth On Acid and the legendary Bonzai Records. This is the second collaboration of the two imprints, after having released Bart Skils‘ remix of ‘Universal Nation‘ last September.

The huge track portrays real power with its slamming drums. The synths ripple up top as the groove rolls on and tripped out keys and chords bring the colour. For all of the hardcore techno fanatics who have rave energy to spare, this track is definitely one for you.

The previous release of Reinier Zonneveld in January, the remix of “Resurrection” by Edward Artemiev, hit the number 1 spot and this brand-new remix promises to follow in its footsteps.

Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper’s ‘Get Over U’ gets a rework from Tedd Patterson and Chambray

There have been many house music partnerships over the years, think Masters at Work, Hot Natured, Sasha and Digweed. They can be a powerful force, as too were ‘Directors Cut’ a production and writing partnership between Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper.

Both already regarded as legendary and established DJs in the world scene, they produced outstanding output together until the sad passing of Frankie Knuckles in 2014. An album of their collective work was released last year entitled ‘The Directors Cut Collection‘.

SoSure Music now release a remix package of their production ‘Get Over U‘ feat. B Slade. The original was a slice of euphoric, anthemic vocal house and has now received a contemporary rework from two of house music finest and respected spinners; the legendary US DJ Tedd Patterson and Berlin-based Chambray.

Two very different mixes by very different and unique artists. Chambray is the alias of André Rost who has previously delivered a range of dancefloor bombs and worked with the likes of Laurent Garnier and DJ Haus while establishing himself as a respected name in underground music. Here he delivers an energetic and contemporary House meets disco rework, bright and uplifting with piano stabs, electronic claps and brilliantly reworked vocals.

Tedd Patterson has earned the title of House Music royalty and is regarded as one of the best-known house DJs in the world. Spinning since the late 70s, he has set standards in the scene from the very beginning. With a huge, global fan base but also a career of impressive breadth and longevity, he has headlined Ministry of Sound in London, Pacha in Ibiza, and Panorama Bar in Berlin.

Here with his remix, he delivers both a vocal and instrumental retaining the classic house feel, verging into 70s disco territory with big strings and jazz influences. Altogether it is feel good house at its best.

Both remixes pay homage to the original, whilst bringing a fresh new direction and would no doubt receive the seal of approval and be played by Frankie himself.

Mathame Never Give Up Lost Frequencies remix

Here’s what Mathame had to say about “Never Give Up“:

“Musically, ‘Never Give Up’ has many influences, from techno to cinematic soundtracks and sound design. We try to synthesise all our influences into one track that can be like a manifesto of our sound, dynamic, wider, handcrafted, dreaming, with a simple and strong message.

A message to the earth, like a flag that calls everyone to not ever give up. The track arrives at the time of a global crisis where it feels like everything is out of our hands and we have lost control. Now more than ever, the planet earth and humanity need this message, every day and every night.”
