Any package that includes Dimitri From Paris, MAW, Moplen and Mousse T. remixes is worth checking out right? Well, Anané’s ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ on Nervous has done just this.
When it comes to reimagining a classic, few artists have the pedigree, passion, and versatility of Anané. Her latest single, ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy,’ breathes new life into Love Symphony Orchestra’s 1978 disco gem, taking its evergreen spirit and infusing it with contemporary house textures. What unfolds is a sonic journey through multiple interpretations, each delivered by a heavyweight in the house music scene.
At the heart of this reimagining is Anané’s unmistakable vocal presence. Her soulful and commanding delivery elevates the song beyond a mere cover, transforming it into a deeply emotive and expressive piece. With her ability to straddle the worlds of deep house, soulful grooves, and classic disco, Anané makes ‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ feel both nostalgic and refreshingly new.
Dimitri From Paris, a legendary curator of disco-infused house, brings two distinct versions to the table. His Club Mix is a vibrant and energetic journey through classic house sounds, filled with uplifting chords, shimmering strings, and an undeniable groove. The Dub Mix, on the other hand, strips things back, emphasizing a hypnotic bassline and percussive elements that make it a DJ’s dream for extended dancefloor moments.
The legendary duo Masters At Work contribute their ‘Clap Yo Hands Dub,’ which injects a dose of infectious energy. With their signature blend of Latin-infused rhythms, rolling basslines, and organic percussion, Louie Vega and Kenny Dope create a version that pays homage to the roots of house while remaining distinctly modern. This mix is a percussive workout, tailor-made for deep and sweaty club sessions.
Moplen‘s remix takes the track into more atmospheric territory. His interpretation is layered with swirling synths, hypnotic rhythms, and an expansive sound design that lends the song an almost cinematic feel. This version is a journey in itself, building tension and release in a way that feels both meditative and dancefloor-ready.
Bringing his signature style, Mousse T‘s ‘Fantastic Shizzle Mix’ is a funky and soulful affair. The remix bounces with an infectious groove, enriched by warm keys, lively drum patterns, and an undeniable feel-good energy. Mousse T manages to keep the soul of the original intact while making it irresistible for modern house enthusiasts.
Blackchild takes the track into deeper, more tribal-infused territories. His remix focuses on the rawer elements of house, using intricate drum programming, pulsating basslines, and stripped-back vocal snippets to create a mix that feels both underground and hypnotic. Perfect for those late-night, heads-down moments on the dancefloor.
Closing out the collection is Two Soul Fusion’s remix, a smooth and uplifting rendition that encapsulates the essence of soulful house. The melodies glide effortlessly over a groove-laden bassline, making this version the perfect final chapter in this journey through sound. The warmth and emotion of the mix linger long after the track ends, cementing the song’s status as a standout in Anané’s catalog.
‘Let Me Be Your Fantasy’ is more than just a rework; it is a celebration of disco and house music’s enduring legacy. With each remix bringing a unique touch, this collection serves as both a homage to the past and a glimpse into the future of house music. Whether you’re drawn to the disco-infused stylings of Dimitri From Paris, the percussive power of Masters At Work, or the deep tribal rhythms of Blackchild, there is something here for every house music connoisseur. Anané once again proves her ability to bridge eras and styles, making this release a must-listen for any lover of quality dance music.
