Alan Braxe Fred Falke – Intro (25th Anniversary)

Description

Released in 2000, Alan Braxe and Fred Falke’s ‘Intro’ is five minutes of faultlessly melancholy, perfectly elegant dance music that nudged French House into the future.

‘Intro’ is now being re-released for its 25th birthday, using the remastered version of the song from the 2023 re-issue of Alan Braxe, Fred Falke & Friends’ ‘The Upper Cuts’ album, with Braxe and Falke also making new remixes of their golden child. Given that ‘Intro’ was pretty much perfect the first time around, the results are astoundingly strong.

Falke’s remix takes ‘Intro’ into new dimensions, cosmic and suspiciously dubby, a newly-recorded bassline sending the mix on its psychedelic way. Braxe’s remix is raw and dirty, a ‘hotel room edit’ as he calls it, that nods to the history of French House as it sparkles up the spine.

Both tunes are evidence that you actually can remix the un-remixable, so long as it is done with infinite love and incredible skill.
