Last year Apollonia dropped their debut album ‘Tour à Tour’, a collection of tracks that represented their all night long b2b2b sessions. Now the boys proudly present the remixes!

New York legend Jovonn, a previous contributor to the label and an inspiration to Apollonia, also lends his talents to reconfiguring ‘Sona’. His version works around that gritty, jazz-infused sound. Persistent keys lead the way as a potent b-line grumbles way down in the low end and a chime keeps that top end sharp and prominent.

‘Chez Michel’ comes in for the rework treatment next, with Mike Shannon putting his stamp on the track. The original bassline remains intact, although it’s accompanied by rather malicious sounding synth stabs, which give it a completely different, more malevolent vibe.

Hold Youth (Le Loup and Seuil) give ‘Mouche Tsé Tsé’ a sleazy, electro lick with a winding bassline and naïve, 8-bit esque FX for those hazy after-hours gatherings.
