When We Dip | Premiere: Raxon steps up to remix Effin & Blindin on Maceo Plex's label Ellum

DJ Fonzerelli assumes his Effin & Blindin alias for a new single on Ellum Audio this November. UK artist Fonzerelli is a lover of 80s sounds including electro, indie dance and synth wave, and all of those inform his work as Effin & Blindin. He has released on the likes of Mena Music and LW Recordings and under his more well-known alias he has featured on the iconic Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack on Vladivostok FM.

The perfectly retro-future ‘Compute’ has vocoder vocals that bring a sombre feel to the sleek drums. All around it are lush, pixelated chords packed with melancholy and deft little sci-fi details that ensure this one operates in a galaxy of its own way above the stars.

Egyptian-born, Barcelona-based DJ and producer Raxon steps up to remix hot on the heels of his Sound of Mind album on Kompakt back in June. It follows a steady stream of precision-tooled tracks for labels like Cocoon, Drumcode and of course Ellum Audio. Here he flips the original into something more physical. The beats dart about the mix, the hits crash down and the lead synth comes in restless little sequences. It is still bathed in nostalgic and analogue sounding 80s keys but brings plenty of fresh production touches.

These are two lovable electronic tracks that transport you to another planet. You can now listen to the full premiere of Raxon’s remix exclusivel yon When We Dip. Enjoy!
