KELELA REMIXES

DJ LAG puts his spin on Kelela’s “Take Me A_Part: The Remixes” alongside Kaytranada, GAIKA & more

KELELA REMIXES

Following her debut album ‘Take Me Apart,’ Kelela has gathered a slew of talented collaborators to remix the already flawless album, set to drop today via WARP. ‘Take Me A_Part: The Remixes’ will feature artists from across the world, including Kaytranada, GAIKA and our very own DJ Lag.

“This project has been evolving in my mind since I was deep in recording Take Me Apart. I obsessed over production choices on the album and my only solace was knowing that the songs would be reimagined in this way.”

Kaytra’s remix for “Waitin” was the second to be released a week ago on Youtube, which elevates and ear-worms an already immaculate track; ‘LMK’s rework preceding served up a fresh batch of femme-tastic features in Junglepussy, Cupcakke, Princess Nokia, and Ms Boogie.

DJ Lag’s signature sound set beside these groundbreaking producers certainly sets a new bar for Gqom’s reach, adding distinctive, playful urgency to the collection with an up-tempo BPM. Kelela’s vocals anchor each offering in a bento-box of co-mingling worldly flavours prepared with the utmost care, making this album a welcome soundtrack to the upcoming weekend.

“It’s not just a bunch of remixes,” explains Kelela via a press release, “It’s how my worldwide community of producers and DJs communicate through difference. It’s also about the camaraderie that we experience when we find the overlaps. The same songs get to exist in these alternate realities which means different people get to have a relationship with the music. Maybe even with each other.”
