There’s no overstating the effect that Tellier’s instant classic, “La Ritournelle”, has had on people over the last decade. Featuring Afrobeat’s inventor Tony Allen on drums it was aptly described by NME as “basically Unfinished Sympathy Pt. 2” and it is now being re-released with brand new mixes from Lucky Number affiliated acts to close out our 10 year anniversary as a label.
Remixing a true classic is a daunting task but it is a testament to the song’s timelessness that these mixes draw new life from the track. Chicago-born/New York-based production duo Gilligan Moss, take the track on a spun-out journey that involves and overwhelms the listener with suspense and then delivers nothing short of drop everything ecstasy once those recognizable vocals appear. In addition, our latest signing, London-based Our Mother, infuse their unique baroque video-game aesthetic into the track, whilst Leicester’s champion beat sculptor FTSE demonstrates a surprising subtlety in gothic groove. These three new remixes sit alongside the classic pop précis from Mr. Dan and the glorious original upon the EP. The EP is to be re-released on May 27th but you can pre-order now.
