10.0

Overall Score

Released between April and June this year, Eli & Fur’s ‘Follow The Dark’ EP has been their first conceptual release since their 2020 debut album, ‘Found In The Wild’.

Both parts of the ‘Follow The Dark’ concept have already accumulated seven million streams across DSPs, as well as an impressive list of support on BBC Radio from Sian Eleri and Danny Howard, Kiss FM, Capital Dance and SiriusXM Chill.

‘Where I Find My Mind’, ‘Temptation’, ‘Last Train’ and ‘Where Do We Go From Here’, are now reworked by Cristoph, Rezident, Maxinne, Velero, Sam Luck, Hugo Cantarra and Eli & Fur themselves. The remix album opens with a piano-infused rework of ‘Last Train’ from producer and Pryda regular Cristoph, then smoothly leads into deep and moody remixes from Rezident and Eli & Fur and a choppy tech-house take from Maxinne on ‘Temptation’, finally ending with some high-energy reworks from Velero, Hugo Cantarra and Sam Luck.

Eli & Fur have been touring all over the world throughout the summer, playing sold-out shows in venues such as New York’s Brooklyn Mirage, Ibiza’s ANTS Ibiza, and London’s E1, and are going to be part of Anjunadeep’s first label showcase at iconic outdoor Colorado venue, Red Rocks, on November

Eli & Fur’s ‘Follow The Dark’ (Remixed) is out on Anjunadeep on August 22.

Eli & Fur - Follow The Dark (Remixed)10

Summary

While everybody who adores melodic deep house are addicted to Eli & Fur excellent tracks included on Follow The Dark EP, there was a strong need that these tracks should enter the big dancefloors and for that reason the selection of the remixes and remixers are well needed and definitely will extend the longevity of the brilliant compositions. Christoph impresses with his melodic techno with strong trancy tripping out version of Last Train. The girls themselves shines with their Temptation version with depth and danceable grooves to dance the night away. Rezident deliver the cool breaks/indie dance version of Where I Find My Mind. Where Do We Go From Here gets the melodic dreamy driving slightly deep prog trance treatment by Hugo Cantarra. Temptation remixed perfectly in deep tech house bumping house fashion by Maxinne. Finally Where I Find My Mind is pushed to the mainstage melodic techno world by Sam Luck excellent remix and Velero deep, hypnotic melodic driving energetic melodic techno blissful remix. An excellent selection that contains future favourites for sure. #PureGold Love IT
