Following on from his debut release for Crosstown Rebels in 2018, Emanuel Satie is welcomed back to the revered label to present Rivers feat. MAMA, another display of his gifted musical skill, set for release this February.

‘Rivers is inspired by a short vocal sketch the singer MAMA sent me some time ago. The lyrics are dedicated to her father and deal with loss and isolation. I was so touched by the raw emotion and the love that is flowing through these vocals, that I had to make a track out of it. We are very happy to bring this personal and special track into the world.’ Emanuel Satie

Rivers feat. MAMA opens with a spirited bassline, delicate percussion is added before MAMA’s outstanding vocal cuts through, touching the soul as the mystical chant of melody slowly burns. Tokyo ASMR sees the listener transported to the colour and ambience of the city, it features Japanese inspired strings, flutes and samples that lock around a minimal beat inducing a state of meditation and tranquillity.

Frankfurt-born, Berlin-based producer Emanuel Satie has built up a distinguished reputation with his original productions and remixes. Bursting onto the scene with a slew of releases on many of the most meaningful labels, with impressive chart positions including a Beatport number 1, Emanuel’s unrelenting momentum lead to him being awarded Best Producer at the DJ Awards, an acclaim previously won by Maceo Plex and Solomun. His music has been played by DJs across genres and previously charted in the top five most Shazamed tracks in Ibiza, whilst Pete Tong made single Don’t Forget To Go Home featuring Billy Cobham his Miami Music Week Essential New Tune. Following this Emanuel then collaborated with Pete Tong for their massive Time For Love which has now reached two million Spotify plays, released his widely supported Planet XXX on Sven Väth’s Cocoon Recordings and was welcomed into the Crosstown Rebels fold to release his debut EP on Damian Lazarus’ label.
