What a remix package!

Thomas Fehlmann is a long time Natalie Beridze fan and did a wonderful, classy, danceable and elegant mix of „Those Things“ where Nikakoi as a longtime Partner of Natalie gives the pop song “For Love” a new groove and meaning. Donna Maya takes a very cool and powerful take on „Light is Winning“ while Lightning Jules' mix is more romantic and playful.
And there are 3 additional "Light.." remixes exclusive for our bandcamp site: Gray's mix is more dark, Ivory Bells takes time and the light into the field, box von düe is reduced and more abstract.

All „Light is Winning“ remixes were conceived during the remix.regendered workshop in cologne held by Maya Sternel aka Donna Maya und Angelika Lepper aka Acid Maria. Thank you all for this fantastic work!

Taken from the album: Guliagava, by Natalie Beridze, TBA, Tusia Beridze.... recorded in Tbilisi, south-easternmost Europe. The Georgian metropolis is far from pop-cultural arteries, nevertheless its youth observes precisely what is happening outside, and installs that otherness in their own world with a delicate hand..... Her vocals have never been so animated, her songwriting has never sounded so complete, and her arrangements, for all their complexity, have never been so round. Guliagava is Beridze's tenth album and it is nothing less than her masterpiece... (Andreas Reihse, Monika87 CD/vinyl)
