This is how the curator of Kontrapunkt describes the story behind the new release:
«It’s rare that demos land in my inbox and convince me instantly. That wasn’t the case with Evan Michael’s message. Evan works behind the scenes in New York’s nightlife and sent me a folder full of incredible tracks—each bursting with energy and joy. It was hard to choose, but in the end I went with Paranoia and Vice Versa.»
«Paranoia stands as a perfectly crafted dancefloor anthem, weaving cosmic synth textures with a radiant indie house sensibility. It’s the kind of track that feels destined to become an instant classic—the sort of release a label like Running Back might have wished to sign first. Meanwhile, Vice Versa raises the stakes with even brighter, more exhilarating energy. Its synth line radiates pure, unfiltered joy—almost childlike in its immediacy—lingering in the mind long after leaving the rave at dawn. A subtle layer of dreaminess balances the euphoria, giving the track both lift and depth.»
We are also pleased to premiere the remix by Maks Légère, who fuses Berlin’s cool restraint with New York’s vibrant warmth. His rework introduces a lush dub texture that recalls the intimate, almost forbidden magic of the dancefloor—like wanting to capture in a photograph something that should only be experienced in the moment. In that oscillation between sophistication and sensuality, a magnetic groove takes shape: deep basslines, elastic rhythms, and an electric atmosphere that makes this remix an absolute sonic delight.
