Embassy One and twelve X twelve Unveil Next String of Remixes for Betoko’s ‘Raining Again’

by Danielle

In March 2023, leading German record label announced a pioneering collaboration with music NFT marketplace twelve x twelve to launch a series of high profile remixes; inviting some of ‘s biggest artists to reimagine a selection of dance music’s most iconic records. Kickstarting the project with Roger Sanchez’s ‘Black Rain’ remix of Betoko’s Raining Again, the Berlin-based collaborators now unveil the next band of remixers to join the ongoing initiative.

A staunch contributor to the scene since the early 90s, Cologne-based artist Sharam Jey and long-term collaborator Bakka (BR) link up for the latest instalment in the collection. Available now across all streaming platforms, as well as a Digital Vinyl/ music NFT with exclusive content, ownership and limited access to the community, this unequivocally cool rework serves as a refreshing house gem, giving the deep house original a percussive-fuelled update that’s beaming with synth intricacies. Tethered to the roots of its counterpart through the famed vocal line, Sharam Jey & Bakka (BR)´s offering takes a stylistic turn, with 80s electronica sensibilities and contemporary breaks providing listeners with a stimulating blend of old and new; a trademark that we’ve come to know and love from the pair’s collaborative endeavours.

Next up to join the , Betoko himself is welcomed back to reimagine his own original record, over a decade on. Initially landing on Solomun’s Dynamic imprint in 2012, Betoko’s remix marks his studio debut for Embassy One, and is available now exclusively as a digital vinyl/music NFT. Making his intentions known from the off, the -by-way-of-Mexico expands on his original with a flurry of cosmic synth elements that fully embody the project’s narrative of renewal. His revitalised cut brings the project full circle, highlighting his consistent drive for progression within a fast-paced music scene.

Last but by no means least, and rounding out the project in emphatic fashion, Embassy One welcomes the indisputable talents of world-renowned duo Eli & Fur. Standing as one of the industry’s most exciting newcomer acts of the past decade, Eli & Fur deliver on artistry and technical prowess with their remix, guiding the original into contemporary waters. Available now as an exclusive Digital Vinyl/music NFT drop, the pair’s remix will also be released via all major streaming platforms on June 30.

Originally released in 2012, Betoko’s legendary dance anthem – Raining Again – was labelled ‘Track of The Summer’ during its initial unveiling, and has since amassed over 13 million streams on Spotify alone and over 100 million hits worldwide across all platforms. A record that has no doubt stood the test of time, Embassy One’s initiative aims to revive its global impact, whilst opening it up to a modern audience through a carefully curated band of remixers.

Why digital vinyl? The artist regains artistic freedom instead of algorithmic control, and their fans once again own a piece of music history. Through exclusive content and limited access, the artist and super fans foster a stronger connection and mutual growth.
