Homeshake – the recording project of Peter Sagar – unveils Helium Remixes in full via Sinderlyn.

Following the “Like Mariah (Jessy Lanza Remix)” last month with accompanying visuals from Nicole Ginelli, Homeshake has shared “All Night Long (Ciel’s Daylight Savings Mix)” and “Another Thing (Cecile Believe Mix)” in the last two weeks.

The Ciel remix of “All Night Long” doubles its original length. The track is vibrant with ricocheting percussion and bright tones. “I was blown away when I first heard Ciel’s ‘Hundred Flowers’ EP. The way the melody and drums evolved around one another was so hypnotizing,” says Sagar. “Her attention to percussive detail is masterful. It’s too bad I don’t really party because I hear she’s an excellent DJ.”

Throughout the “Another Thing” remix, Cecile Believe warps Sagar’s vocals and adds a layer of textured instrumentation. “You don’t get to hear it on her remix, but Cecile is the most amazing singer I know. She performed vocals all over the latest (and amazing) SOPHIE record,” Sagar says. “Thanks to her vocal coaching I was able to drastically improve my own voice, and I’m endlessly grateful for that, as well as her amazing remix, which shows how incredible a producer she is as well.”

Teklife crew members DJ Taye and DJ Paypal appear multiple times throughout the EP, including on the remix of “Just Like My.” Sagar cites them as two of his favorite footwork producers and says “These were the first remixes I got back, I listened to them thru my iphone 6s speaker standing in a department store and cried a little.”

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
