Anané

The team of Anané, Louie Vega and Nervous Records aim to demonstrate once again how they’ve always got one finger on the pulse while also nudging the envelope with a remix suite made up of seven re-rubs dedicated to Anané’s ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’. 

Anané: “It’s amazingly beautiful how various interpretations give new life to the song."

Nervous Records: “There’s little escaping the fact that we currently find ourselves in quite the troubled times. However, as history tells us, it’s often during these testing periods when subcultures, underground movements and, most prolifically, music swoop in to help move the needle and motivate change. And whilst what we have here is just a solitary record, the pure, elemental power housed within it feels precisely the kind of fuel that’s needed to light that particular touch paper." 

Kicking proceedings off in virtuoso style is Dimitri From Paris. Firstly, his ‘Club Mix’ skates upon a funk-flecked rhythm as swirling strings, strutting guitars, and pipes all work in harmony. With a discerning and diligent hand, the ‘Dub Mix’ streamlines things into a leaner, more percussive and club-facing track. 

Blackchild then takes the sonic reigns with salacious and salsific house music that is small-hours fun. Next up and embracing a similar mood palette is Masters At Work with their ‘Clap Yo Hands Dub’, a low-end disco-decked celebration. 

Peppermint Jam impresario Mousse T then takes to the rework controls with a slab of vintage, hypno-house. Tipping a cap to two of his biggest influences, the track is dressed in Chicagoan productive finery whilst waves of Motor City essence flow through its instrumental veins. 

Moplen then takes the reins, delivering a balanced remix for the peak-time nudging dancefloor. 

Finally Josh Milan and Louie Vega step up as Two Soul Fusion with two remixes. One tempers the suite’s general buoyant touch before wheeling in the Rhodes and taking us down the final furlong with a touch of rolling, silken class on a Moroderish arpeggiated bassline and synths with a charging piano line and Ananè vocals weaving in and out of the groove throughout. 

Anané's 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy' is out now on Nervous Records.
