Ballade

The single remix of Ballade" comes from Djrum, who reworks the song into a brooding dancefloor piece, replete with deeper than deep melodic touches and an addictive swing. It's a perfect partner to the original.
With "Fire in My Hands" winning support from luminaries such as Machinedrum, Scratcha DVA, Laurent Garnier, Mary-Anne Hobbs, Sinden and Lauren Laverne, it's clear why this precocious talent appeals so widely. This is music that's as unrestrained and beautiful as it is pioneering.
