Last June, Zeds Dead and MKLA joined forces for a deep house tune called ‘Alive’ that couldn’t help but pull at the heartstrings. Even in the midst of their deep discography of bangers, the track quickly became one of their most popular. A month ago, the Toronto duo dropped a remix album of the song featuring artists like Dirt Monkey and Wenzday, and we even had the pleasure of premiering the Tisoki flip. Little did we know, there would be the second iteration of renditions, but we’re hyped to be teaming up with Deadbeats again to give you an exclusive first listen to Rohaan’s remix of ‘Alive.’

Being a huge fan of ZD since I was in my early teens. It’s crazy to be able to have the opportunity to remix one of their tunes! My goal was to keep the original integrity of the track while just upping the bpm and adding some drum and bass flavour. A great start to hopefully a long relationship with deadbeats.

Rohaan takes it to the next level from the first note by accelerating the bpm and adding hypnotic hi-hats. MKLA’s whisper-like crooning crescendos into the apex of the track, only highlighted by the fresh DnB beat. As the Manchester musician speeds up the original to match his high-impact pace, the songstress’ vocals are almost pleading in a way that’s juxtaposed from Zeds Dead’s version. The producer’s addition of pulsating percussion to the prototype’s already mesmerizing melodies adds another layer of enchantment, proving why the DnB juggernaut has been a longtime FUXWITHIT favorite.

Get an early listen to Rohaan’s reimagination of ‘Alive’ below! The full remix album will be available everywhere this Friday.

PREMIERE: Tisoki Adds Spine-Chilling Intensity To Zeds Dead & MLKA’s ‘Alive’

Tisoki is an artist in the electronic music scene that undeniably deserves every bit of success that comes his way. Grinding on his craft for nearly a decade, the British producer has never really confined himself to genres, often leaning towards bass music but always finding ways to innovate in an often-saturated industry. From releases on elite labels such as Never Say Die and Monstercat, to collaborations with and remixes for some of the biggest names in the game, Tisoki continuously finds ways to keep his creations refreshing, exciting and meaningful. Coming off his most extensive work to date, namely his incredibly versatile 01953 album, the talented artist has not dared step on the brakes, with a remix for MUST DIE! and Virtual Self and a collaboration with Benda coming in the last couple of months.

Today, we have the extreme pleasure of premiering Tisoki’s latest concoction; a remix for Zeds Dead and MLKA’s summer-jam ‘Alive.’ Released in June to give fans a taste of summer through its warm grooves and danceable melody, ‘Alive’ recently received a second life through an official music video, and a remix pack featuring a handful of versatile artists is now set to release on Friday.

Tisoki’s take on ‘Alive’ almost feels like an extension of the style he developed and mastered in his latest album, with rhythmic percussion and clean vocal chops giving the song a newfound energy. The heartwarming feelings induced in the original are present throughout Tisoki’s rendition, as the main melody and chorus remain intact. However, the skilled producer ups the tempo, complexity and club-appeal of the track with his signature flair, blurring the lines between house and future bass. Don’t miss Tisoki’s remix of ‘Alive’ below.
