ELECTRONIC HEAVYWEIGHT SASHA CARASSI REMIXES HARRY KAZE’S ‘ON MY LIPS’ SINGLE

Prolific producer and DJ Sasha Carassi is set to share a remix of French artist Harry Kaze’s track ‘On My Lips’ on November 15th, 2024 through Adam Beyer’s imprint Truesoul/Drumcode Records. At the helm of the electronic music scene for decades, the Italian stalwart has created an expansive and impactful career since stepping onto the scene at just 15-years-old. Carassi has released music on Drumcode, Diynamic, Bedrock and Renaissance to name just a few. In 2009 he founded the imprint Phobiq, which was hailed as one of the most revered Techno labels at the time. He recently parted ways with Phobiq and established his new label ILINX, which perfectly encapsulates his views on music. Last year, Sasha toured the US and Canada, played at Zamna Festival in Mexico, Amnesia in Ibiza, Kappa FuturFestival in Italy, as well as his own party OWN at Umoya Natural Experience in Italy. 

Based in Napoli, Sasha began his musical journey as a DJ in the '90s and became a prominent producer after his debut album in 2002. Influenced by House and Breakbeat, he ventured into the darker side of Techno but now embraces a more diverse sound, finding fulfillment in blending various influences. Highly respected in the electronic music industry, Sasha is admired for his work ethic, skills, and willingness to take risks with his artistry. Sasha loves listening to a wide variety of genres and draws inspiration from a lot of different things, from Burial to Daft Punk, David Bowie and Aphex Twin. His latest offering is sure to ensnare listeners of Röyksopp, Depeche Mode and Soft Cell.

Harry Kaze is an emerging 26-year-old French DJ and music producer whose tracks ignite a passion for dynamic, energizing soundscapes that take listeners on a captivating sonic journey. His release ‘Damage’ received notable acclaim as Pete Tong's Essential New Tune on BBC Radio 1 in 2023. Alongside this achievement, Harry has made significant strides in the music industry with tracks like ‘Next Level’ on Realm Records, founded by Gorgon City, and the collaboration ‘Now You Know’ with Hugo Banchi on Three Six Zero. While deeply rooted in house music, Harry also feels a strong connection to retro sounds.

The original track is a euphoric piece of melodic house with intricate layers, pulsing rhythms and wistful vocals crafted by Harry Kaze. Sasha Carassi’s remix takes nothing away from the original track’s dreaminess, but replaces Kaze’s energetic four-on-the-floor with his signature 80’s-inspired drum kit, with dashes of lush atmospherics, piercing synths and a more spacious arrangement drenching the track in nostalgia and vitality.

Sasha Carassi shares: “When I received the demo of ‘On My Lips’  by Harry Kaze, I was struck at first listening: I imagined a better reality in an utopian world, where the sincerity of the emotions and the taste for a sophisticated design are rediscovered. Energetic beat, gentle arpeggio and catchy vocals are just three of the elements perfectly wedged together. My vision is very faithful to the original one, but enhanced by my signature drum kit. This version highlights a climax in the break, which leaves room to a more essential design during the whole draft."
