... enlisting the remixing powers of Rex The Dog and Einzelkind.
Everyone's favourite canine 909-lover Rex The Dog is first to tackle 'We Are', and true to form he works in fat analogue bass, crazy acid
lines and chopped-up drums to conjure a formidable slab of electro-funk counterpointed with fragments of the original track's aching vocal harmonies. It's an
epic re-working, joyous, bug-eyed and refreshingly maximal in its sound design. Epic is also an appropriate word to describe Einzelkind's version, which makes
full use of the original track's vocal parts, strapping them to a tough, taut, tech-house progression, with ascending synth hooks that call to mind 80s
electro-pop at its dystopian best. A confident and compelling dancefloor bomb.
Last, but not least, is 'We Are' as originally conceived by Lopazz.
