Needwant return with VIMES (Azhar Syed & Julian Stetter) by releasing ‘The Collection’ caps off a series of highly acclaimed remix packages between the band and London imprint.
Each Reprise version was produced by the band and features original remixes from Gardens of God, Tuff City Kids, Neil Flynn and Man Power. The remixes all have their own unique identity which complements the band’s stylish, future-forward electronic music, combining both melancholic 80s touches with a contemporary live instrumentation and upbeat production.?From the dark, moody and techno driven remix of ‘Celestial’ from Lithuanian maestro Gardens of God, to the acid infused remix of ‘Mind’ from the highly sought after Tuff City Kids, and the dance-floor laden remix of ‘Rudal’ from underground house producer Neil Flynn, to the euphoric remix of ‘Hopeful’ from Man Power.
Juno Review: Needwant round up the best works by duo VIMES (comprised of Azhar Syed & Julian Stetter) over the last few years. Taking in tracks from their album Nights In Limbo (in the form of some special reprise style renditions) as well as all the killer makeovers that followed on several remix EPs. We have waxed lyrical about the stellar remixes so we’ll just mention these new versions from the album. “Celestial” (reprise) is a serving of dreamy and ethereal indie house on the shoegaze tip that’d make even Ulrich Schnaus stand up and notice, “Rudal” (Reprise) is Life & Death style dark journey house by way of Erased Tapes style gloomy aesthetics and “Celestial” (Gardens Of God Remix) serves up a lush stylish depiction of modern deep house.
