EMBRACING AI AND THE ART OF THE “REMASH”
As technology rapidly evolves, Elegie is at the forefront of using AI in her production. She coined the term “re- mash” to describe her unique process, which is a blend of remixing and mashing up.
“I use technology such as AI to extract elements of my favorite tracks and reorganize them to create a com- pletely new track,” she explains.
“I see remashes as a way of reinventing tracks by leve- raging technology and becoming even more creative in our approach to music production”.
By embracing AI, she reimagines familiar pieces, ad- ding her distinct sound to create something entirely new.
Born Slippy and In This Shirt - Iconic Remixes with Ele- gie’s Signature Spin
Elegie’s recent remix of Born Slippy, released in January 2024, pays homage to the iconic track from Trainspot- ting with an eerie, Stranger Things-inspired twist.
It has a “creepy vibe,” she describes, with synths cut- ting through relentless rhythms. In April, she released a remix of In This Shirt, a project born from personal loss.
This deeply emotive remix blends the original’s soulful lyrics with her melodic techno style, delivering a trans- formative experience on the dance floor.
ORIGINAL RELEASES - “HOLD IT UP” AND THE HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED “SKYE”
Elegie’s original works showcase different facets of her style. Hold It Up, released on Dark City Music, takes inspiration from slam poetry, creating a hypnotic te- chno track with an acidic edge. Meanwhile, Skye, set to release on Wout Records on November 1st, featu- res the vocals of Italian singer Jolie G. Inspired by the ethereal landscapes of Above The Clouds, the track explores themes of love, strength, and protection. Jo- lie G’s contribution adds a new layer to Elegie’s sound, and Elegie hints that the collaboration isn’t over, with a follow-up track titled Away From Nowin the works.
“Hold it Up”, my latest release on Dark City Music this September, was inspired by slam poetry I came across on Youtube. It was full of emotional resilience which I decided to translate into a hauntingly hypnotic techno mood with a progressive twist, flowing into a more aci- dic and energetic ending to highlight a positive outlook for the future.
“Skye” is my debut single on Wout Records, coming out on November 1st! It’s a first one for me featuring original vocals, a result of a great collaboration with the very talented Italian singer and lyricist, Jolie G. This track is driven by an engaging rhythm and a hypnotic melody. It’s actually quite different from what I usually produce, but I needed to match the sound to her more commercial voice, intertwining it with driving beats.
Elegie’s dedication to pushing boundaries, both techni- cally and emotionally, places her on a unique trajectory in the techno world. With Above The Clouds and her upcoming projects, she continues to explore new ho- rizons, elevating her music – and listeners – above the clouds.
