Louie Vega - Music Is My Life (Remixes) [Nervous]

Two-pronged remix attacks don’t often come as exciting and potent as this… as in this instance, thanks to our good friends at Nervous NYC, we are beyond thrilled to bring you the legendary Masters At Work and Dave Lee in one fully-stacked package.

Putting their inimitable spins on Louie Vega’s ‘Music Is My Life,’ which features the unique talents of Unlimited Touch, we are treated to a pair of wonderfully complementary, yet no less idiosyncratic, remixes from these two scene stalwarts.

With a hand for production and an artistic flair like no other, Masters At Work here lead the way with their main remix. Characterised by that signature looseness and a deliciously warm organic approach, their rework is imbued with heady psychedelia and so expertly laid layers, that to get lost in the music is both gloriously simple and an absolute pleasure. But no authentic Vega & Dope remix suite would be complete without a genuine Dub version. And for ‘Music Is My Life,’ this dynamic duo takes things down a distinctly more hypnotic and vibe-laden path… one where the vocal is instead used as a powerful rhythmic weapon, and the star of the show is a delicately acid-laced synth, which surreptitiously morphs and shapeshifts.

Next up, having only recently turned his attention to productions under his own moniker, is Z Records head honcho, Dave Lee. Jolting to life with his crisp and punchy drum work, what Lee’s remix shares with that of the Masters is the overall dreamy haze that permeates the proceedings. Where his remix truly opts to excel, though, is in its signature style. When it comes to genre pie-splitting, to perfectly divvying up the worlds of Disco and House, there is simply no one who does it better."
