Ela Minus has tapped Nick León to remix “QQQQ,” from her latest album, Día. Two reworks courtesy of the Miami producer—an “Apocalypto Mix” and extended club mix—appear on a new EP, alongside Minus’ own club and live edits of the track. Listen to QQQQ (Remixes) below.
“Nick’s remixes feel like a collaboration. It’s the first time I've had so much input on a remix of my music,” Ela Minus said in a press statement. “We were sending versions back and forth. Two came out of the process: a straight-on extended club mix (which the original was always calling for) and then a beatless version which we called ‘Apocalypto remix.’ I’ve also recorded a live version of the song. After playing it live, the shows ignited something new in it, or in me when I play it, so I recorded a new live version included in this EP.”
Minus shared Día in January. She also appeared on the single “Ghost Orchid”, from León’s great new album, A Tropical Entropy. This autumn, Minus will play a brief run of North American shows. Scroll down to see all of her upcoming tour dates.
