Known for their lush and cinematic productions, the beloved electronic duo surprised fans today with the release of Spinback Remixes, featuring reworks of several of their classics.

“Our recent DJ sets have allowed us to experiment and re-envision tracks for the club, including our own,” the duo said in a statement. “We dipped into our catalog and connected with a few of our favorite artists to get their club-forward take on some of our tunes. The Spinback Remixes EP is primed for the dance floor, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.”

While the original versions were characterized by emotive melodies and euphoric tension-and-release, these eight remixes strip everything down to the essentials. ODESZA‘s melodic flourishes are replaced by growling basslines and relentless kicks, transforming their signature sound into a barrage of dancefloor ammunition. The vocals, once a focal point, are chopped and filtered into percussive hooks meant to whip crowds into a frenzy. From the laid-back soundscapes of “Line Of Sight” contorted into a pounding drum & bass stomp to the gentle atmospherics of “Say My Name” reworked as a four-on-the-floor banger, each remix offers an exhilarating reinterpretation.
