Australia’s electronic composer extraordinaire Jamie Stevens brings you his incredible single ‘Dust’ via Music To Die For Recordings; taken from his debut solo album ‘Beginner’s Guide To Floating,’ out later this month. Argentinian legend Hernán Cattáneo joins forces with Mercurio once again for a sumptuous remix which precedes it as a special Beatport exclusive release.

Jamie Stevens is well known for being a founding member of Wollongong trio Infusion, one of the most important electronic acts to hail from Australia since the nineties, with tracks including their ARIA award-winning single ‘Girls Can Be Cruel’ and album ‘Six Feet Above Yesterday’.

Every Jamie Stevens masterpiece pulls an emotion or feeling from inside of you, sometimes from places so deep inside you didn’t even know they were there. ‘Dust’ is no different. Take some time to yourself. Find a really good sound system or headphones. Now press play and fully immerse in this masterful record.

As ‘Dust’ starts, you feel the dreamy arpeggiated keys wash over you. You’re instantly transported behind the wheel of a 1981 Dodge Diplomat, forests stretching around you in a beautiful, endless landscape, as you approach twin snowcapped peaks.

Light-touch electronic snares join the party, waves of ozone-filled synths add so much texture that you feel the music like fog moving around you and enveloping your body. This is electronica and indie dance music done so shoegazey that Jamie Stevens may have invented a new genre.

Jamie Stevens explains “I was aiming for a widescreen, immersive feel; something with a vastness or ‘epicness.’ It was a conscious nod to Shoegaze and that sense of being enveloped sonically. The idea of being a speck of dust fits perfectly, almost an allusion to existentialism.”

Hernan has been a long time supporter of Jamie Stevens and he invited him as a live performer to his huge 15,000 audience shows in Cordoba last October. So it makes sense that his remix is faithful to the original… with extra Cattáneo dancefloor cruise control added.

You can now listen to the full premiere of Hernan Cattaneo & Mercurio’s remix of ‘Dust’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
