Brazilian producer ANNA has collaborated again with Martin Gore of Depeche Mode for a remix of the single ‘Cross Whisper,’ recently released on Mute Records. This remix signifies the third time ANNA has worked on Gore’s solo compositions, showcasing an intriguing blend of techno and synth-pop elements.
Original Collaboration Background
The track ‘Cross Whisper’ originates from Gore’s ongoing MG x CD + JL = project, a collective effort involving producer Christian Eigner and lyricist John Leydon. This project allows Gore to venture beyond the scope of Depeche Mode, delving into deeper and more experimental soundscapes.
ANNA's Unique Remix Approach
In her remix, ANNA has transformed the original material into a lively dancefloor anthem, characterized by her signature hypnotic and percussive style. She has gained recognition as a top-tier techno artist, balancing appearances at major festivals and underground clubs while promoting new talent through her label, InTenso.
Inspired by Festival Experiences
ANNA has shared that the remix came to fruition following her time at Ozora Festival, where she connected with the festival’s vibrant atmosphere. This enthusiasm influenced the creation of the remix, resulting in a piece that integrates a more trance-like and psychedelic vibe compared to her usual techno works.
Mute Records and Genre Blending
The remix is released through Mute Records, a label synonymous with Depeche Mode since its inception and recognized for supporting artists that push the boundaries between electronic music and pop. ANNA’s remix aligns well with Mute’s ethos of genre-defying experimentation.
‘Cross Whisper (ANNA Remix)’ is available now on Mute Records.
