Canadian electronic producer Myagi unveils his new remix of Georgia, originally composed by Sarah Neufeld, Richard Reed Parry and Rebecca Foon, taken from their collaborative debut album First Sounds.
Reimagining the original composition through his signature acidic style, Myagi transforms the piece into a steadily evolving, rhythm-driven journey. The remix shifts the work from its chamber-influenced, meditative origins while retaining its depth and melodic sensitivity.
“It was a joy to work with such a beautiful original piece,” says Myagi. “Rather than simply add a beat I chose to reinterpret it, building a solid evolving, funky groove that builds and builds into a milieu of dreamy euphoria. I hope this finds its way into both a late night dance floor and a sunny summer afternoon playlist.”
Richard Reed Parry reflects on the reinterpretation; “Myagi and I have known each other since early childhood, though this is the first time our musical paths have ever officially crossed. We couldn’t be more thrilled about the remix he has done for us – it’s entirely outside of what we do musically as a trio, but hearing our own acoustic instruments and gentle sound space transformed into this hypnotic, rolling electronic groove sounds somehow entirely natural, and very exciting to us. Enjoy.”
First Sounds is the debut album from Neufeld, Parry, and Foon, a trio whose roots trace back to Montreal in the late 1990s, where they first met and began collaborating before embarking on internationally recognised careers.
Neufeld and Parry are widely known for their work with indie rock group Arcade Fire and instrumental ensemble Bell Orchestre, while Rebecca Foon has been a central figure in Montreal’s experimental and contemporary classical scene, co-founding Esmerine, performing with Thee Silver Mt Zion Memorial Orchestra and Set Fire To Flames, and leading her electro-acoustic project Saltland.
Myagi has been producing since 1997, touring internationally across Australia, China, and Europe. His work has been featured across HBO, Showtime, BBC, MTV, CBC, Syfy, and Netflix, and he has remixed artists including Orbital, The Crystal Method, and Dub Pistols, as well as appearing on BBC Radio 1, Triple J, Sirius, and other international broadcasters.
