We launched WetYourSelf Recordings 8 months ago with an EP from Pig & Dan, which included pack included a beautiful remix from AlexKid. On this release, the roles are reversed.
AlexKid has produced two super groovy original tracks that have now been remixed by Pig & Dan, Fabrizio Maurizi and Peter Pixzel.
Alongside definitive producers like St. Germain and Mr. Oizo, Alexkid spent many years as a flagship artist for Garniers F Communications label, playing a pivotal role in sculpting the profile of French electronic music both at home and abroad .
An electronic missionary, Alexkid has taken his epic live arrangements and inventive DJ sets to the four corners of the map and everywhere in-between,
In demand as a remix artist, he has lent his skills to everyone from Damian Lazarus to George Michael, Phonique to Crookers, Sasse and Kiki, Spencer Parker to Nina Kraviz.
Yemsa is a stripped down house monster that slowly creeps with its bouncy baseline and cheeky vocal stabs. Its a track that can be played both in a warm-up and peak-time. In short, its a track that works!
Gadwane is deep and dubby. Its groovy bassline creates warmth throughout. It keeps to Alexs ethos of keeping the sounds simple, effective and slowly evolving.
Onto the remixes
Pig & Dans Remix nails a deep techno sound that builds with eerie synths, a punchy bassline and a pitched up vocal stab, a mental breakdown drops us back into a deep hypnotic groove.
m_nus main man Fabrizio Maurizi has delivered an outstanding light and playful killer. The bassline and quirky sounds are sure to leave you smiling and energised.
Peter Pixzels version keeps a strong groove throughout while he chucks in some funky jazzy chords that constantly keep building and plays with a sexy vocal stab.
