HVNXX is one of the most special projects weve taken part in as a label. Some months ago The XX and Young Turks asked our artists to remix tracks from Coexist. It was a big honour and also a big responsi- bility, specially considering that The XX is one of our favourite bands. The outcome of such challenge is a four-track EP that showcases the sound of both well-established members of the Hivern family, such as Marc Pinol and New Jackson, and upcoming talents such as Round and Mistakes Are Ok. All four remixes are pretty different among them, but they all manage to maintain the distinctive spirit of the original songs in their own way. Marc Pinol takes Fiction to the good ol days of Chicago house, laying the original vocals on top of analog drum-machines and a rubbery bassline to that suggest an imaginary collaboration between Adonis and Oliver Sim. The elusive Mistakes Are Ok maintains the tropical vibe of Reunion but provides a warped atmosphere combining breezy chimes with static haze and a propulsive bass that boosts the song towards the second part of the remix. Hiverns latest signee Round transforms the fragility of Missing into a soothing house cut through uplifting organ chords and vigorous rhythms fulfilling dancefloor demands without loosing its melancholic character. Finally, New Jackson proves once again his knack with nocturnal ambiences flipping Swept Away into a sensuous deep-house gem guided by an absorbing piano and a slow but steady groove. The release comes in an embossed sleeve with artwork designed by Arnau Pi. HVNXX is a co-release with Young Turks.
