“YAP,” which was a huge smash the previous year, is being reissued by Kollektiv Turmstrasse, who is also presenting three remixes of the song by other DJs and producers whom he admires personally. When it was first launched, the song ‘YAP‘ attracted a lot of people’s attention, and now that it’s been brought back, it’s going to light up the dancefloor once more.
Turmstrasse also developed a colorful event series under that brand, which he staged in several cities across Europe. These events were founded in the essential pillars of dance music culture, which include inclusivity, diversity, open-mindedness, community, and love. YAP stands for “You Are Perfect,” and the brand was named after that phrase.
‘YAP’ is given a revitalizing makeover thanks to Perel’s remix, which begins the proceedings with an energizing combination of house and techno.
The main theme of YAP feels to me like an emotional wave that goes up and down, like life itself. So, I decided to build my remix using this section as a centrepiece of it. I can’t wait to play this remix in front of a festival crowd – super excited for the release!
The remix evolves around the melody theme that comes up in the middle of the original – an emotional wave that goes up and down, like life itself. So I took this section as a centrepiece of my remix and built around new elements such as beat, percussions, bass-line and a little synth sequence. Since I personally love uplifting house and techno, I also decided to speed up the original track so it would fit into my sets. I can’t wait to play this remix in front of a festival crowd – super excited for the release! – Perel
Next up is Krystal Klear, who has been providing ‘YAP‘ a brand-new appearance with the help of his pumping disco dance sounds. Recently, he has been releasing one hit after another on Gerd Janson’s Running Back label. Because Turmstrasse is a great admirer of Krystal Klear’s music, he was overjoyed when he found out that he would be featured on this remix EP, and he did not let him down.
Kollektiv Turmstrasse also wants to highlight some up-and-coming musicians in the house music scene, and the DJ and producer pair gome is one of his favorites among the newer artists in this scene. Their many releases on Toy Tonics and other labels, in addition to their remix of YAP, left Turmstrasse with a very positive impression. This rendition of gome is finished off with a punchy bassline reminiscent of old-school dance music as well as a buoyant, warm groove that is ideal for the season of summer.
We felt very honoured when Kollektiv Turmstrasse asked us to remix YAP. We have been big fans of his music since we were young kids discovering the electronic music scene in Germany. Kollektiv Turmstrasse was a name you could not miss. When we sat down in the studio, we tried to give the melancholic yet very driving original a 90s house-inspired twist as the vocals and beats reminded us of this era. We hope you like it. – gome
With influences ranging from house to breaks to techno, and old-school rave to modern electronic sounds, the YAP remix EP demonstrates the flexible and multifaceted profile of Kollektiv Turmstrasse, ready to dance the days and nights away this summer.
