REVIEW: Kasablanca - In Sequence (Korolova Remix) out on Anjunabeats


Ukrainian breakout talent Korolova remixes Kasablanca’s ‘In Sequence’.

Acclaimed electronic duo Kasablanca follow up the release of their second EP on Anjunabeats, ‘Lucid Audio’, with Korolova’s remix of ‘In Sequence’. An homage to 90's rave music mixed in with Kasablanca’s contemporary melodic techno sound, the original mix received support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, R3HAB, Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Shane 54 and many more.

Kasablanca exploded onto the scene in summer 2020 with their collaboration with Lane 8, ‘Run’. What followed was a dream run: their debut album ‘Human Learning’, a Juno Award-nominated collaboration with Bob Moses in ‘Afterglow’, and joining us at Anjunabeats to release the ‘Immunity EP’, as well as remixing Above & Beyond’s ‘Black Room Boy’ as part of the ‘10 Years of Group Therapy’ celebrations.

The duo recently completed their ‘Am I Dreaming?’ tour, which took them to eight sold-out venues across North America, plus festival appearances in Brazil and India. Their live show (best described as Justice meets Queen meets Stephan Bodzin) is more comparable to a full-on performance like a rock show than a typical clubbing experience, replete with Prince-esque swagger and an extensive rig of analogue synthesizers on stage. Next up for them: supporting Above & Beyond at their sold-out Printworks London takeover, and joining our Anjunafamily pilgrimage to the Gorge for Group Therapy Weekender.

Ukrainian DJ and producer Korolova boasts over 875k monthly listeners on Spotify and has released on Shen, REALM, Island/UMG, Ultra, Black Hole, Get Physical, and Armada. She racked up over 10M streams on her 2022 track with Spada, ‘Be Strong’, and amassed over 100K streams on her recent single ‘Lost In Space’ with Franky Wah within its first two weeks of release. Her tracks have been supported by the likes of Tiesto, Pete Tong, Nora En Pure, Vintage Culture, Guiseppe Ottaviani and beyond.

Kasablanca’s ‘In Sequence’ (Korolova Remix) is out now on Anjunabeats.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Kasablanca's massive anthem  In Sequence gets the superb Korolova remix treatment and she does magic as we have expected from her. Dark moody synths upon the deep pulsating basslines, thumping drums, punchy kicks and excellent use of the very unique and distinctive indie rock style vocals. The breakdown is emotional and touching full of mysterious atmosphere with cool strings and electronic style melodies until the melodramatic synthy stabs and percussive melodies typical in these types of tracks is coming in the surface to lead the track to its energetic but still very unsettling and suspenseful infectious climax. If you like this dystopian serious cinematic melodic techno meets house sound Korolova remix is must add item in your digital collection with her super fine sound design. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
