MUMBAI: Upcoming producer Xavier Eleven’s ‘New Day’ gets the remix treatment from a trio of respected artists on this new package, due for release on the 3 February via Nothing Else Matters – the label recently founded by renowned DJ Danny Howard and ex-radio one figurehead Nigel Harding.
First up is both a radio and club length remix from Wookie. Widely regarded as an influential founding father of UK Garage, the renowned producer and remixer have given his touch to Xavier Eleven’s original track. It’s a two-stepping take full of original melodies and live instrumentation, perfectly complimenting Laura Elle Rose’s vocal style. The first remix to be teased from the EP, the track has already had support from Annie Mac, Mistajam, DJ Target, Toddla T and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1.
A talented multi-instrumentalist and established producer Jakwob also puts his touch on ‘New Day’; a stomping house remix with a distinctive synth melody, it’s a club-ready new version of the track. He first shot to fame after the incredible popularity of his remixes of Ellie Goulding ’Starry Eyed’ and ‘Under the Sheets’, and has since been in demand remixing the likes of M.I.A, Jessie J, Lana Del Rey, Usher, and Sigma. His original productions ‘Fade’ and ‘Somebody New’ were the big UK hits, reaching #5 and #2 in the Indie charts respectively.
