Now, obviously you’re no stranger to this Depeche Mode tune, first released in 1990 and subsequently covered, remixed, reimagined by...all. Mike Koglin’s instrumental version, “The Silence,” inspired Sasha to bedazzle the beats into a new mix he called, once again, “Enjoy the Silence.”
And here, for your listening pleasure, is techno/breaks DJ James Zabiela’s own homage to his mentor, Sasha, with a mashup of Sasha's own “Wavy Gravy” and Sasha's remix of Mike Koglin's remake of Depeche Mode's original tune: "Enjoy the Gravy."
Zabiela’s having a bang-up year. As you must know by now, he's teamed up with Nic Fanciulli to become the next Sasha & Digweed...or perhaps dance music’s answer to the hottie Proenza Schouler pairing. Anyway, they released “One + One” last week, with a few of Zabiela’s, a few of Fanciulli’s, some mashups and some mixes. An Ibiza residency might also soon be in the offing.
Watch Zabiela in action giving a master class on his gear. Most likely, he and Fanciulli will be laptop-synching, Gabriel & Dresden-style. Should be interesting, next-level even.
