Reimagining art is a difficult task. Taking a fully original vision from a fellow artist and twisting it into your own work presents a set of innate challenges. How do you pay the necessary homage to the originator, while also appeasing your artistic intuition? This is a question confronted by producers when pursuing the unique nature of the music industry's most flexible assets - the remix.

Our Diversions series explores the diverse processes and influences that manifest during the remix process. Each release presents fresh takes on the label's original productions by both XYZ stalwarts and newcomers alike. This series is a chance to connect artists from across the musical spectrum in the pursuit of unique and unexpected tracks.

For the third edition of the Diversions series, we welcome back a pillar of XYZ - Budakid. The Dutchman has been flying since he inaugurated the label with his enigmatic Quixotic EP, and recent appearances on Diynamic, Exploited, and Anjunadeep continue to display his tremendous talent. He's revamped Mitch Oliver and Maaruo's Same Light, harnessing the vocals from Beyries for a track aimed at blissful dancefloor moments.

Panthera Krause is a unique figure within dance music, with a sincerely warm energy and ear for timeless grooves. Through directing one of the most forward-thinking imprints in Europe, Leipzig-bred Riotvan, Krause has fostered a sound brimming with electro, disco, and punk influences. His house-centric productions have distinct flair for peak-time character; his smash hit, Birthday Club, was easily the song of the summer in 2019. For his debut on XYZ, he's connected with Ian O'Donovan's Sun. Panthera's signature driving bassline rides the classical synth touches from Ian's original for a dancefloor killer.

Fluida have been favorites of the When We Dip team for some time now, crafting a unique blend of live-instrumental driven melodic house. The London-based duo have graced Do Not Sit, Kindisch, and Jim Rider's Signs in recent times, and now they step up to hammer home a gorgeous remix of Alejandro Mosso's Sirocco. The arrangement is surging with energy from the start, adding vivacious percussion to the organic texture of the original; a tune guaranteed to get the feet moving.
