EMANUEL SATIE RELEASES OFFICIAL REMIX OF YULIA NIKO AND YOTAM AVNI ‘HIGHER’

Out now, the remix follows the release of Yulia Niko’s critically acclaimed debut album TWINSOUL, which was released on Armada Music back in March.

Just two months on from the release of her stunning ten-track debut album TWINSOUL on esteemed Dutch record label Armada Music, internationally celebrated producer and DJ, Yulia Niko, now returns to one of the standout singles from her critically acclaimed long player, as she enlists seasoned, Berlin-based producer and good friend Emanuel Satie to provide his own unique take on ‘Higher’.

 

Out now via Armada Records, Emanuel’s remix sees the Scenarios mainstay impart a unique energy into Yulia Niko and Yotam Avni’s pulsating original, as he unravels a web of euphoric piano chords, glitchy synths and rolling basslines beneath Yulia’s ethereal topline, to create a trippy melodic techno cut that’s already been doing some serious damage across international dancefloors over the past few months.

 

A highly sought-after ID in both Yuila and Emanuel’s international DJ sets this year – which is finally now seeing the light of day – Satie’s ability to engage the listener with his forward-thinking sound palette is second-to-none, and has seen him release on some of the industry’s most revered labels, including Innervisions, Diynamic, Cocoon, Crosstown Rebels, and Scenarios, to name a few.

Since S2O’s inception in Bangkok in 2015, the event brand has become the world’s biggest Songkran/Thai New Year celebration with events in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, and Vietnam. From the shores of Bangkok to the bustling streets of Seoul, S2O has gained recognition for its innovative blend of electronic dance music and spectacular water effects. The unique festival concept aims to harness the power of water as an elemental force of joy and unity while transcending cultural boundaries to create immersive experiences for attendees worldwide. The brand placed on DJ Mag’s Top 100 Festivals 2023 list at #55 with S2O Thailand and #79 with S2O Taiwan

The brand has also produced world tours for South Korean artists such as EXO and Big Bang, as well as the Krazy Super Concert in New York and Los Angeles.

With its proven track record of hosting exceptional live events, Pulse Events has been entrusted to translate S2O’s increasingly global success to the U.S. market. The company aims to represent Asian-Americans within the global dance music community through their productions, showcased by their two successful editions of Spring Festival: Lunar New Year (which celebrates Chinese New Year) and now, the debut edition of S2O New York. Through these endeavors, the brand is introducing American audiences to Asian cultural celebrations while creating unforgettable festival experiences. 

S2O Festival celebrates Songkran (Thai New Year) which involves the tradition of spraying one another with water for good luck. S2O New York attendees will immerse themselves in a water music festival experience with experiential elements as well as a cool indoor lounge for the best end-of-summer experience in the Big Apple.

Pulse Events’ debut edition of S2O New York will reflect the cultural diversity of the melting-pot city, while simultaneously showcasing world-renowned DJs, stunning visual effects, and exhilarating water-themed elements and performances. Inspired by New York City’s vibrant landmarks and iconic waterways, The Brooklyn Mirage’s sprawling complex, expansive 200-foot LED wall, and city views will provide the perfect backdrop for the inaugural multi-sensory event.

PARALLELLE AND NICOLAS MASSEYEFF RETURN TO CROSSTOWN REBELS TO DELIVER THE EXCELLENT ‘SURRENDER’,BACKED BY A REMIX FROM AXEL BOMAN

Returning to the iconic imprint following the trio’s stand-out ‘Renegade’ EP in 2023, the new collaborative release, set for release on 10th May 2024, welcomes two hypnotic cuts alongside a slick rework from the Studio Barnhus co-founder.

Three talents with a long-standing and innate musical connection stretching back years, Dutch brother duo Parallelle and French DJ/producer Nicolas Masseyef have been connecting and collaborating to shape a series of lauded projects released via renowned imprints such as DGTL, Systematic, and Masseyef’s own Diversions Music. Reuniting for a second outing on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint, following the success of their 2023 debut with the heavily-championed ‘Renegade’, the trio return in style with two fresh, original productions backed by an ever-stylish remix from Studio Barnhus co-founder Axel Boman, who returns to deliver his second remix on the label following his debut remixing Dinky in 2016.

“That feeling in the club, when you surrender totally, is pure liberation. The music pulses through you, and you’re consumed by the rhythm. In that moment, nothing else matters but the euphoria of dancing freely, letting go of inhibitions, and being fully present in the moment.” - Parallelle.

The EP’s title track ‘Surrender’ is a rumbling and impactful percussive journey through the darker territories of the night, with skittering synths and echoed vocal interjections adding glimpses of brightness to the otherwise murky sound. Meanwhile, ‘She Says’ keeps the playful vocal elements front and centre, introducing warping melodies and dub-tinged textures.

Providing his flip on the latter, Boman’s take on ‘She Says’ is classy and engaging from the off, stripping the track back to expose a raw yet polished interpretation while drawing on hazy pads, eerie tones and sweeping atmospherics for a wonky and trippy excursion.
