The mighty DJ Stingray has sprinkled some of his dark electro magic on Lorenzo Senni’s 2017 trance roller ‘XAllegroX’ for a new two-track remix 12” that features Florian Hecker on the flipside.
The Shape of RemiXXXes to Come sees Stingray “turn in a ominous offering built to scald the biggest rooms and the sweatiest basements,” while Hecker “subverts the euphoria by driving it to its inevitable melancholic endpoint,” according to the press release.
Senni and Stingray first met in London a few years ago and have been pals ever since. “I really respect his artistic direction and discipline so when the chance arose for me to remix it was a choice albeit very taxing mentally because I wanted to keep the standard high,” says Stingray in a press release.
“My definition of a remix is taking the song and enhancing, stripping down and adding – to present a new form while trying to maintain the spirit and vision of the original.”
