Dreaming Awake present the incredible and unique track ‘Stay’ by Los Angeles based producer Sarkis Mikael (The Soundgarden, Hoomidaas) which features gorgeous vocals and instrumental contributions by St. Terrible & WEND! The four artists first crossed paths at the boutique festival Lost River Disco, where their immediate synergy led to the creation of this remarkable project. 

The original is a track that label boss Treavor Moontribe immediately recognized as something extremely special! The vocals, the melodies, the chords…it’s just got a super sweet vibe to it. There are qualities reminiscent of Radiohead in there, but in a style of Melodic House music one rarely if ever finds in today’s music.

First up on remix duty is the globally respected and sought after producer CIOZ (Monaberry, Stil Vor Talent) who provides a unique and highly technical take on the track. His use of the original sounds in new psychedelic ways is something fans have come to love CIOZ for, but what he does with the vocals is outstanding and really brings the entire track together. 

Next up is the lovely Mass Digital (All Day I Dream, Hararbe Lab) who label boss Treavor Moontribe had been waiting a long time to send the perfect track for him to remix on the label! This remix turns up the energy, brings in some tribal percussion and a more driving groove, while still taking the vocals into a unique space. This lays somewhere between Organic and Afro House styles and the crowd response to this remix has been exceptional!

You can now listen to the full premiere of CIOZ’s ‘Stay’ remix, exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
