The Remix Album consists of some of the best AZARI & III remixes by today’s leading producers in the underground electronic movement. The compilation features classic AZARI & III remixes as well as several rarities and many other gems. The Remix Album runs the gamut of electronic subgenres and sonic moods thanks to the polished disco of “Into The Night” (Prince Language Remix), the tortured “Hungry For The Power” (Sei A Remix), the future synth assault of “Manic” (Disclosure Remix), the funk-fueled bass of “Hungry For The Power” (Art Department Remix) and many more. The Remix Album gathers all the premier AZARI & III remixes for an elite anthology of electronic music production available for the first time in a single collection.

Following the release of the Remix Album, AZARI & III will unleash the Lost In Time EP this spring; it will feature the original version of “Lost In Time” from their celebrated self-titled debut album plus remixes from Finnish house producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen and Los Angeles techno/house duo VCO.

More about AZARI & III

AZARI & III ~ producers/musicians Dinamo Azari and Alixander III and vocalists Fritz Helder and Starving Yet Full ~ create a unique blend of classic house revivalism and moody electronics with dark yet hooky vocal choruses and analog-thick rhythms. Heralded by tastemaker outlets (Pitchfork, XLR8R, NME) and mainstream media (BBC, The Guardian) alike, their self-titled debut album AZARI & III, originally released in 2011, delivered a defining sound that relishes in its references and influences while maintaining a fresh, futuristic perspective, resulting in an individual classic-future feel with trademark, lush synthesizer textures, biting soulful choruses and ominous overtones. Establishing themselves as one of the breakout artists of 2011, AZARI & III originally formed in 2008 in the burgeoning Toronto electronic music scene and made their worldwide debut with the release of their early singles “Hungry for the Power” and “Reckless (With Your Love),” both of which blew the collective mind of the underground music scene and global electronic community. Known for their astounding live shows, AZARI & III have performed at numerous world-renowned festivals, including Glastonbury, Sonar and Lovebox.
