Steadfast in his commitment to creativity and originality, Enamour is an artist devoted to pushing the envelope in every aspect of his musical output. The mastermind behind a string of internationally celebrated releases on leading labels including Last Night On Earth, Get Physical, Rose Avenue, Purified, Anjunadeep, and Factory 93 (to name a few), the LA-based producer and globally renowned DJ now continues his remarkable run of form with the unveiling of his latest studio offering – an official remix of the hit single ‘Close’, originally written and produced by Felix Raphael and Fabian Sprungk, a young, up-and-coming talent from Berlin-based label YION.
Out now via Raphael’s YION imprint, Enamour’s eagerly anticipated remix for Felix – who has himself just released an official collaboration with Ben Böhmer on Ninja Tune – caps off an impressive year and represents another exciting career moment for the flourishing US talent. Backboned by howling bass synths, crisp percussion, and exquisite production value throughout, the record’s sonic texture is a compelling and thought-provoking study of Enamour’s current direction as an accomplished, multi-faceted producer. A perfectly judged melodic techno cut that explores a nuanced sound palate, the remix has already enjoyed considerable support from the likes of Rüfüs du Sol, Oliver Koletzki, Einmusik, Dirty Doering, Hidden Empire, and Cassian, amongst others.
Speaking about the release, Enamour commented:
“When Felix asked me to remix a track from his label, I dove into the catalogue and discovered ‘Close’, which stood out to me with its dark and brooding vocal. I envisioned giving it a tougher melodic techno makeover, perfect for those peak-time moments. Happy to report it’s been a highlight of every set I’ve played over the summer”
Marking his final release of 2023, the remix comes at the end of Enamour’s most prolific year to date and drops the day before one of his biggest UK shows so far; performing for Parable at Electric Brixton alongside Worakls Band and Abstraal. For tickets and further information click here.
