But after all the amazing tracks they released in 2015 I was more than convinced that they were the one and only right choice to put their hands on ‘Singularity’. And to be honest, I was a bit afraid of repeating myself by asking them again. “The Fur Coat boys already did a super sweet remix for me in 2014 of my Systematic release ‘Sungam’. Super happy they teamed up! Cobernon… Imberyu…whatever, the remix is really a perfect mix of both worlds. On the very, very, very last days the boys suddenly sent me this massive piece of work(!!!) It’s adding that typical irresistible Imbernon groove to the original melodies, and Coyu’s very own ability to bring themes and tensions to the point is present at every second. Ivan called me one day and told me about all that and that they just had to do a remix of it! I said: okay, why not, let’s give it a try…months later I hadn’t had any feedback from them, no mix provided, nothing in my inbox - so I started to proceed without them, ordering the vinyl to keep the scheduled release date. One of their favorite tracks of the season was apparently ‘Wir’. “Edu and Ivan spent all of summer 2015 in Ibiza, hanging out, playing tons of shows and enjoying life. It blew me away from the first second… thank you, Maceo, thank you, Shall.” And they’re putting the focus on the (in the original very well hidden and) beautiful voice of Luna Semara. Maceo Plex (not forgetting his brilliant partner on that mix, Shall Ocin) delivered a powerful and intense work on ‘Powers Of Ten’, keeping the emotional depth of the original plus adding those ultra phat plex-beats. He’s a man who’s combining such a wide music horizon with his brilliant sense for contemporary electronic kicking attitude. “He has always been one of my first choice of artists for the remix album, the fact that he did a remake of the title track just fits perfectly to my respect for this outstanding electronic musician of our time. ![]() ![]() Powers of Ten (Maceo Plex & Shall Ocin Remix) ![]() We recently premiered Maceo Plex and Shall Ocin’s rework of the title cut, and now we’ve invited Bodzin to run us through the stories of how each remix took shape, and what we can expect from the whole release. Following the success of 'Powers of Ten', Stephan Bodzin’s most profound full-length album to date, the German producer has invited a star-studded group of artists to remix a selection of the LP’s signature tracks. ![]()
