How was the process working with each other? We guess that because producers work remotely with each other even during non-Covid times, it wasn’t too strange? Yves : I’ve been listening to what Steff has been doing for years, and I really love what he does, so when he wanted to remix Rise Up, I was more than happy. Yves, we imagine that you get a lot of people making remixes of ‘Rise Up’ – what made Steff’s version so special that you wanted to get involved yourself? Yves : Yes the scene has changed a lot, the sound has evolved enormously, the music sounds so much better now, the music is not an exact science, so i don’t know is rise up will work in 2021, but i hope, in all case, we love the song. How much has the music scene changed since then and do you think that Rise Up will still fit? Yves, the original track came out in 2007 which is 14 years ago. Steff : Of course! Yves & Jaba made an iconic record, a true classic and it was possible Yves would have said no. Steff, were you nervous when you sent the track to Yves for the first time? EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWĬongrats on ‘Rise Up 2021’, it’s a great remake of an already amazing song. Just check out his much-acclaimed rework of 90’s hip hop gem ‘I Got 5 On It’, released earlier this year together with 71 Digits, and you’ll catch his vibe instantly. He knows his way around tunes like these, as he’s been making quite some waves these last years with deep groovy house records featuring exciting hooks, alluring melodies, and often recognizable vocal samples. Reaching high in the international charts back then (including #13 on the Official UK Singles Chart), ‘Rise Up’ has remained a much-praised and spun record till this day – every new generation of DJs seems to embrace the track in its own way.įollowing deep house prodigy LVNDSCAPE, who turned the song into a fresh sounding hit again in 2016, fellow Dutch DJ/producer Steff Da Campo now signs for a much anticipated 2021 version. Yves Larock dominated the summer of 2007 with the release of ‘Rise Up’, a border crossing club tune featuring a soulful groove and hot-blooded vocals by reggae singer and fellow Swiss artist Jaba. It’s a classic reborn, out now on Spinnin’ Records. The result is a sweet 2021 rendition that builds on the original’s feelgood vibe while adding tasty deep house rhythms and a refreshing reggae breakdown to provide the song with a brand new appeal. Swiss artist Yves Larock has teamed up with one of house music’s unstoppable forces, Steff Da Campo, for the re-creation of his renowned dance classic ‘Rise Up’ feat.
