Andrew Dum Reimagines a Classic With New Deep Flair on “Changes”

There’s something quietly bold about taking on a track like “Changes.” For anyone even remotely tuned into the history of house music, Chris Lake’s original release with Laura V sits in that rare space—timeless, untouchable. But Romanian producer Andrew Dum doesn’t try to replicate the magic. He absorbs it, bends it, and emerges with something entirely his own.

His latest single, a collaboration with Eran Hersh and vocalist Alina Eremia, is a reimagining steeped in Afro-house rhythms and emotional precision. Out now, “Changes” is less about recreating a club anthem and more about reconnecting with something internal. It’s spiritual, hypnotic, and gently transcendent.

“This remix of ‘Changes’ means a lot to me,” Dum said. “It brought back a wave of emotion I didn’t expect, like reconnecting with a part of myself.” That sense of personal reckoning pulses through the production. The beat rolls like a warm tide, never hurried, letting every kick and clap sit in its own space. There’s depth, but no clutter. Dum’s restraint is what gives the track weight.

Eran Hersh, whose credits span Afrobeat and melodic house, immediately felt the impact. “The first time I heard the ‘Changes’ demo from Andrew, I got goosebumps,” he said. “And then Alina came in with those vocals… wow.” He’s not exaggerating. Eremia’s performance doesn’t just float above the mix—it grounds it. Her voice, expressive and glowing, pulls the past into the present, honoring the memory of the original while giving it a pulse that feels entirely new.

Together, the trio builds a soul-stirring dancefloor moment that balances nostalgia with reinvention. You feel the echoes of Chris Lake’s influence, sure—but you also feel where the genre has gone since. It’s a remix in spirit, but a rebirth in practice.

For Andrew Dum, whose catalog has already been co-signed by giants like RÜFÜS DU SOL and Pete Tong, “Changes” represents a kind of creative breakthrough. It’s a track that doesn’t shout. It whispers, it swells, and then it stays with you.

There are plenty of remakes floating around dance music right now—many of them forgettable. “Changes” is something rarer: a reminder of why we fell in love with house music in the first place.
