Henri Bergmann’s trajectory in 2022 has been nothing short of stratospheric; whether remixing for, or by, Echonomist, Mia Mendi, Johnathan Kaspar, Dee Montero and Murat Uncuoglu (to name but a few); collaborating with Biesmans or touring the globe, she’s swiftly moved to the apex of dance music’s creative illuminati.
Now she delivers her first mixed compilation for Renaissance, a clubbing bastion who are synonymous with the format. “It’s a pleasure and honour to take on this mix for Renaissance,” she says, “They know a thing or two about what makes a comp’ work in this style and genre so the pressure was on to deliver. The mix is an eloquent snapshot of recent favourites, current and future bombs and, of course, a few of my own productions for good measure!”
True to her word, Henri kicks the mix off with her gorgeous rework of Dee Montero’s ‘Solena’ and then proceeds to swiftly shift through the gears over the course of the next hour. Along the way she features Adriatique, Denis Horvat, WhoMadeWho, Toto Chiavetta, Final Request and more; even her very latest single, the Tale Of Us championed ‘Simulacrum’ is woven into the deft soundscape. “It’s always a challenge and self-debate over what, and what not to include, but overall, I had real fun putting it together. I hope people enjoy it,” she happily concludes.
Tracklist: 1 ) Dee Montero – Solena (Henri Bergmann Remix) 2 ) White Label 3 ) Toto Chiavetta – Automation 4 ) Henri Bergmann, Wennick – Simulacrum 5 ) Henri Bergmann, Biesmans – Mind Control (Echonomist Remix) 6 ) Daniele Di Martino – Prometheus 7 ) WhoMadeWho – Silence & Secrets (Adriatique Remix) 8 ) Avangart Tabldot – Jaxa 9 ) Dor Danino – Who’s The mother 10 ) Denis Horvát – Cha Cha 11 ) White Label 12 ) Final Request – The Ultimate

After the huge collaboration with David Guetta and Idris Elba, ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND welcome Argy and Zafrir to the label, where all together they create the rousing and mystical single ‘Tibet’.
ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND continue to deliver music that fits perfectly for the dance floor and for listening alike. The label has now had several showcases in Tulum, Amsterdam and Barcelona, with a return to Tulum in the works for New Year Eve and further showcases incoming in 2023, it’s clear that ARTBAT and UPPERGROUND are truly resonating with listeners and dancers..
If you cast your mind back to 5 years ago, ARTBAT released ‘Tabu’ on HOSH’s Fryhide, and for the new release the Ukrainian duo collaborate with Argy and Zafrir to create a ‘Tibet’, which flows in a similar aesthetic of driving esoteric grooves.
‘Tibet’ is an authoritative and alluring track with all the power that you would expect ARTBAT and Argy, and when they bring in Zafrir’s unique touch, this becomes a track that will transport you away to far Eastern lands.
Using mystical chants, hypnotic lead arps, this takes you on a journey of introspection where each person will take their own path on the voyage of music that is called Tibet….
