DROID BISHOP UNVEILS SYNTH-INFUSED REMIX OF I’MMORTAL’s ‘KILLED U IN A DREAM’

Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Droid Bishop unveiled a remarkable remix of I’MMORTAL’s hit single ‘Killed U In A Dream’ on September 6th 2024. Droid Bishop is widely known for his majestic synthwave 80s-inspired soundscapes, and his interpretation of the single has further solidified his position as a synth savant.

He has received support from the likes of EARMILK, Neon Nights and New Retro Wave, alongside an incredible 9 million Spotify streams.

I’MMORTAL is a creative extraordinaire, based between London and New York. She burst onto the scene last year with her debut single ‘Versace Spaceship’, and has received support from WONDERLAND Magazine, Metal Magazine and CLASH Magazine to name a few. While I’MMORTAL draws inspiration from pop icons like Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, Bjork and Sophie, she has crafted a sound that’s entirely her own, and ‘Killed U In A Dream’ perfectly encapsulates it.

The original version of the single was produced by I’MMORTAL, and laid a hauntingly beautiful foundation for the remix. Droid Bishop’s remix holds the essence of I’MMORTAL’s dark, mystical, esoteric universe, featuring pulsating synths, a steady yet bold bassline, and evocative chord progressions transporting listeners to a dimension both eerie and fascinating.

Droid Bishop divulges: “I always love remixing and find it to be musically rewarding, especially when an original track like ‘Killed U In A Dream’ is so unique and creative with its dreamlike tempo changes and shifts in mood. This one pushed me to think a bit outside the box while still retaining a tangible groove to keep the listener moving.”

R3HAB remixes Acid Arab’s ‘Habaytak’, listen now

Multi-platinum producer, and DJ, R3HAB has just unleashed a new remix of Acid Arab’s infectiously boundary-breaking track, ‘Habaytak’. Better known by his moniker, the producer, Fadil El Ghoul, has remixed the likes of Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, and Calvin Harris, and put out original tracks with huge collabs. He has dominated the mainstream whilst staying true to his Dutch-Moroccan heritage. Out now via [PIAS] Électronique, R3HAB gave the Eastern-inspired sound of the original track, featuring Ghizlane Melih’s vocals, a darker, faster-paced twist. Watch the freshly released Jean-Charles Charavin-directed video:

Trailblazing through the original with his vision but never forgetting to intensify Acid Arab’s existing builds and breaks, R3HAB heightens the vocal track to spine-tingling levels. Incorporating explicit House elements and throbbing electronic bass, this club banger exaggerates the source material’s production whilst keeping Ghizlane Melih’s gorgeous vocals in the spotlight. In doing so, he not only injects the beats with his unique brand of thumping House, but he also pays homage to the Morrocan diva’s heritage and influences. Listen to both the original and the new remix below:

About their exciting collaboration, the two producers had this to say, R3HAB: “I’ve been a fan of Acid Arab’s work for a long time now, so I was excited when they reached out. I had a lot of fun remixing ‘Habaytak’, it’s always a good challenge to infuse my sound into different genres and musical cultures. I loved the experience and we’re excited to finally share it with the world!”. Acid Arab: “This mix of R3HAB’s more mainstream sound with our Arabic-inspired electronic music has spawned a unique and potentially massive track. We’re honoured that R3HAB agreed to add his special touch and individual vibe to our track. We’re proud to see more musical boundaries fall.”

DJ Wax Tailor keeps it moving and grooving in hip hop remix

Back in 2019, the world of trip-hop began to stir as Wax Tailor released the disturbingly captivating single, ‘The Light’ and murmurs of more releases began to arise. Early 2020 the producer released the unmistakable single, ‘Keep It Movin’ featuring D Smoke, the winner of Netflix’s “Rhythm + Flow” competition. The release of ‘Keep It Movin’ came at a dark time, as the pandemic set in and the world was confronted with the truth of police brutality in a harsh yet undeniable way. However, the upbeat, anthemic nature of the song managed to set a tone of hope and acknowledgement that we are in control of our own destiny while the accompanying funky music video provided some much-needed relief.

The releases for Wax Tailor continued as he built towards his album, Shadow Of Our Suns which was released at the start of this year. The album showcased the vocals of numerous talented artists including Mark Lanegan in the rock-infused ‘Just A Candle’, Rosemary Standley the melancholic ‘Misery’ and Adeline in the mind-bending ‘Deja Vu’. You can read our full feature on the album here. The producer took time to introduce each of the artists on his socials and highlighting the reasons he chose to work with them.

Stream/ download: ‘Keep Movin ft. D Smoke (WT Remix)’

This year, Wax Tailor continues to provide the world with new music, returning to and reworking his own sound into something new. The first of these remixes was our favourite – as he took on ‘Keep It Movin’ and reworked it, keeping a focus on the talented D Smoke’s vocals while infusing it with a bit more of Wax Tailor’s signature sound. Next, came the remixes for ‘Everybody’, originally featuring Del The Funky Homosapien and eventually receiving a remix from South African artist Kanif The Jhatmaster as well as Wax Tailor himself.
