Italian techno veteran Sasha Carassi is set to release his highly anticipated remix of Harry Kaze‘s track “On My Lips” on November 15th, 2024, through Adam Beyer‘s esteemed Truesoul/Drumcode Records. With a career spanning over two decades, Carassi has cemented himself as a powerhouse in the electronic music scene. He first made his mark at just 15 years old and has since released on influential labels such as Drumcode, Diynamic, Bedrock, and Renaissance. In 2009, he founded the influential label Phobiq, which became a mainstay in the techno world before he recently parted ways to launch his new venture, ILINX, reflecting his evolving artistic vision.
Having performed at major festivals like Zamna Festival in Mexico, Amnesia in Ibiza, Kappa FuturFestival in Italy, and his own OWN event at Umoya Natural Experience in Italy, Carassi continues to captivate audiences worldwide. His music reflects a deep understanding of the genre, blending influences from house, breakbeat, and the darker corners of techno, while always pushing the boundaries of his sound.
Harry Kaze, a rising star in the French electronic scene, is also no stranger to accolades. At just 26 years old, the Paris-based DJ and producer has already made waves with his 2023 track “Damage,” which was featured as Pete Tong‘s Essential New Tune on BBC Radio 1. His innovative sound continues to gain traction with releases such as “Next Level” on Realm Records, a label founded by Gorgon City, and the collaboration “Now You Know” with Hugo Banchi. Known for his mastery of house music, Kaze also incorporates retro influences into his music, creating a unique and captivating sonic experience.
The original version of “On My Lips” is a euphoric melodic house track, woven together with lush vocal melodies and intricate rhythms. In his remix, Sasha Carassi keeps the track’s dreamy essence intact while injecting his own signature style. By swapping Kaze‘s energetic four-on-the-floor beat with a more nostalgic, 80s-inspired drum kit, Carassi infuses the track with atmospheric textures, piercing synths, and a spacious arrangement that elevates the original’s mood. His remix enhances the original’s emotional depth, creating a sense of longing and energy throughout the track.
Carassi shares his thoughts on the remix: “When I first heard the demo of ‘On My Lips’ by Harry Kaze, I immediately imagined a better, utopian world—where emotion and sophisticated design come together harmoniously. The energetic beat, the gentle arpeggios, and the catchy vocals are the perfect elements to create a sense of nostalgia. My vision for the remix stays true to the original but with a new approach that highlights the track’s climax and refines its overall structure.”
As both artists continue to shape the future of electronic music, Sasha Carassi and Harry Kaze‘s collaboration is a testament to their ability to evolve while remaining grounded in their roots. The remix of “On My Lips” is set to be a must-hear release, offering a fresh perspective on Kaze‘s original while showcasing Carassi‘s refined production style.
