The first official remix to be released on AETERNA Records has to be special, and ARTBAT has delivered in spades, reimagining the euphoric ‘Friends’ by label bosses Meduza into a hard-hitting, rolling, peak-time techno anthem.
This should come as no surprise as the Ukrainian duo has catapulted up the ranks in recent times to become one of the most sought-after and respected names in dance music. They have numerous Beatport top 10s for originals and remixes, collaborations with luminaries of the scene such as Kölsch, Camelphat, Armin Van Buuren, and David Guetta, and a noticeable footprint at the most prestigious of events in techno, such as Timewarp, Awakenings, and Tomorrowland.
ARTBAT’s remix of ‘Friends’ takes the unforgettable breakdown of the original and infuses it with a blend of atmospheric, spatial sounds and pulsating percussion, giving this version a distinct energy update to an already thumping record. With its festival-ready vibe and uplifting vocal about friendship, this remix creates a sense of unity and camaraderie, and it’s the perfect soundtrack for creating unforgettable memories with your closest friends as you come together on the dancefloor.
Meduza “Friends (ARTBAT Remix)’ is available April 12 on AETERNA Records
