Planet Of Souls is the new project from producers Paul Rogers and Tom Barlow, created to merge emotive songwriting with cinematic electronic production. With a shared love of analog synths and ’90s/’00s electronica, their sound draws on influences from Jon Hopkins and Massive Attack to RY X and The Chemical Brothers. Though newly formed, the duo bring decades of experience: Rogers has worked with UNKLE, Sasha, Pete Tong, and Gorillaz, with recent collaborations supported on BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM, while Barlow’s releases have appeared on Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat, earning praise from Carl Cox.
Their single ‘One’ features the ethereal, emotional vocals of Australian singer-songwriter Lily Papas. With a background in major-label releases, festival and TV performances, and collaborations with brands like Dior, Papas continues to carve her space as a distinctive voice in pop music.
The original ‘One’ has already gained support from BBC Radio 1’s Sian Eleri and outlets including NOTION and DMY. Now, Jody Wisternoff transforms the track into a driving, melodic remix. A regular face in the Anjuna label family, Wisternoff is celebrated for his emotive, club-ready productions and has toured internationally, performing at major festivals and sold-out venues across Europe, North America, and Asia.
‘One (Jody Wisternoff Remix)’ is out now on Anjunachill.

[item value="10"]Planet Of Souls & Lily Papas - One (Jody Wisternoff Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Jody Wisternoff’s remix of Planet Of Souls’ single “One” featuring Lily Papas is a masterclass in progressive house production that every DJ in the genre should consider adding to their setlists. Clocking in at a perfectly club-friendly 126 BPM, the track strikes a balance between hypnotic groove and emotional depth, making it adaptable for both warm-up and peak-hour moments. From a technical standpoint, the remix opens with chunky, tightly compressed kick drums that establish a solid foundation, accompanied by subtle percussive layers and techy hi-hats that gradually build energy without overcrowding the spectrum. The wobbly basslines are meticulously sidechained to the kick, creating a dynamic low-end pulse that drives the track forward with a fluid motion, a hallmark of Wisternoff’s production style. The melodic content is where this remix truly shines. Cinematic string swells and emotional piano progressions weave around Lily Papas’ ethereal vocals, which are treated with lush reverb and spatial stereo delays to create a floating, almost dreamlike texture in the mid-to-high frequencies. The breakdowns highlight these atmospheric elements, giving the crowd room to breathe before slamming back into the rolling progressive groove. Additional production touches—like filtered sweeps, subtle risers, and ambient FX layers—ensure seamless transitions and maintain a sense of sonic storytelling throughout. For progressive house DJs, this track is a versatile weapon: its dark yet warm emotional tone makes it perfect for creating that deep, immersive journey on the dancefloor. The polished mixdown ensures it will translate beautifully on large sound systems, with bass presence that fills the room without muddying the vocal clarity. Wisternoff’s attention to dynamic range, stereo imaging, and groove tightness elevates this remix from a simple club track to a set-defining moment. In short, “One” (Jody Wisternoff Remix) is an essential addition to any progressive set, combining emotional resonance with dancefloor functionality—an ideal track to awaken the senses and keep the crowd moving. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
