It was pretty clear when I interviewed Anane and Louie Vega back in February that they're determined to do things differently. Producers and labels hate to admit this, but dance music has always seemed somewhat disposable - get the hot track of the moment, play the crap out of it and move on to the next one, because there's no insult worse than being "late".
Louie's made it his credo to produce timeless music - a song good enough to stand on its own, whether it's being played in 1000 clubs in 100 countries or 1 bedroom somewhere in the Bronx.
And Anane is following suit with the latest release from her Ananesworld
And the video? This is how it's done:
How it works on the dancefloor is anyone's guess, but Vega Records released their own package of remixes for that purpose by Louie himself, Boddhi Satva, Bert Bevans and DJ Bradd, and Antonello Coghe and Filipe Narciso - twelve remixes in all from Boddhi's ultra-deeper-than-deep style to Louie's Ska Mix, which has the charm of being a piece you can hum along to.
