Widely considered as modern-day kings of the underground, Manchester, U.K.-based duo Solardo (James Eliot & Mark Richards, aka MRK1) have been tapped by Ultra Records for their incredible studio prowess to remix the track that started it all for the legendary label as it celebrates its 25th Anniversary. Released today, October 1 is Roger Sanchez’ “Release Yo’Self (SOLARDO Remix).”
Since its release via Ultra late last year, Wandering has amassed more than 6 million streams, and seen support from key media titles. Now delivering a new perspective on two of its tracks, Sleeping On My Own Again and Superstructure, MYRNE reimagines the floaty originals into sizzling house weapons. He explained:
“I've always felt that albums are a snapshot in time for an artist, or a measure of modernity. Every EP or album I've ever released will sound dated in some sense in a year or two - that's why I wanted to approach some songs off of my latest EP, Wandering, through a different lens. I've been missing house music a lot, and the energy of live shows, so I wanted to bring those two tracks to life in that context.”
Representing an absence of live shows - something which seems a long way off in his own county, Singapore - MYRNE replaces string samples for synths in Superstructure to transform it into a soul-stirring heater, while the reimagined vision of Sleeping On My Own Again adds delicate basslines and euphoric soundscapes throughout.
Coming off of his last release, “Spicy,” Boris Brejcha brings us “House Music.” Although the title is quite literal, this track is much more abstract and mysterious than you’d think. Featuring soft, high-pitched vocals and a steady background beat, this track is perfect for freestyle dancing and just having a good time! An official video is also coming on release day, containing clips that were sent in by Brejcha’s fans of them dancing to the new track. In order to get these fan submissions, Boris did a month-long Instagram challenge and called for some special dance moves to be featured in the video.
