M83, aka Anthony Gonzalez, has shared new remixes for “Fantasy”, the title track from his acclaimed 9th studio album that was released last year via Mute. The reworkings come from breakout Berlin-based, Peruvian producer Sofia Kourtesis and Italian producer Kelbin.
Kourtesis’ remix inflicts an uptempo buoyancy that’s playful and spry, while Kelbin’s offering delivers sonic intricacies that weave together in a labyrinthian, surreal manner. Both remixes breathe fresh and respectively unique new life into the standout album track.
Speaking on the collaboration, Sofia Kourtesis says:
working with M83 has been a treat. I have been a fan of his work since some years ago, the nuances of his composición makes working on a remix for him a nice moment of creativity experience.
The remixes follow a year of extensive and wildly-praised touring across North America and Europe in celebration of Fantasy. Last fall M83 also made fan-favorite deep-cut “Mirror,” from his beloved 2011 album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming, widely available for the first time. More exciting remixes will arrive this year, with further details forthcoming.
Fantasy, M83‘s 9th studio album, proves a towering sensory delight and marks his most personal album to date, an alternate world that Gonzalez has created as an escape from the disconnected world we live in today.
