LY SANDER RELEASES “LAY DOWN” FEATURING BERLIN BASED SINGER JULES ETIENNE. THIS DEEP AND POETIC TUNE IS THE FIRST EXTRACTION FROM HIS TO BE RELEASED ALBUM. PREMIERE REMIXER RIPPERTON PROVIDES AN EAR CATCHING REMIX When Jules Etienne provided these dazzling vocals, Ly Sander knew they deserved the song to be built around them. The poetry and dreamy emotions of the lyrics fully embrace us with this slow tempo in-cantation. Ripperton brought his own magic by bringing the track back up to club speed. «I had invited Berlin based Jules Etienne to record some lyrics to a preexisting uptempo instrumental” explains Ly Sander. When I witnessed their deep and intricated poetry, I decided to build a whole song from scratch». The result is Lay Down, Ly Sander’s first track not to bear any link with his previous efforts that focused on danceable music. It’s ultra low tempo is somewhat intriguing. «I clearly had my album in mind upon producing this track. A track that you will enjoy at home rather than in the club» says Ly Sander who’s album «Landing» is to be released next year on Special place recordings. REMIXER RIPPERTON BRINGS THE TRACK UP TO SPEED Ripperton is certainly one of the most thought after electronic music remixers, with over a hundred reworks to his credit for artists such as Radiohead, Laurent Garnier or Beanfield. When Ripperton heard Jules Etienne’s impeccable vocals, not only did he accept this remix duty but took over his holiday time to do so. «It is so rare to get to work on vocals where everything falls right into place» says Ripperton. «I really took time to take this track where I wanted it to be». Ripperton also chose to match the vocals to an instrumental at the original speed of 120bpm, making it fit for the dancefloor where it could well become a new favorite.
