REWORKED FOR THE FLOOR : BETWEEN THE LINES (REMIXES), VOL. 3
Oliver Night invites a new wave of producers to reshape the album through bruk, bass pressure and soulful club futurism.
Oliver Night continues to open up the world of Between The Lines with a
third volume of remixes, bringing together producers from across the
UK’s soulful electronic underground to reinterpret the album’s emotional
depth and rhythmic foundations through new club-focused perspectives.
Where the original album explored themes of identity, connection and
self-reflection through a fusion of broken beat, soul and live
instrumentation, Between The Lines (Remixes), Vol. 3 pushes those ideas
further outward - into soundsystem spaces, late-night dancefloors and
bruk-rooted experimentation.
Leading the release, London duo 2 Fox reimagine “Run Like The River”
featuring TREV with a rich, uplifting sense of movement. The original’s
message of liberation and self-belief remains intact, but here it’s
reframed through rolling percussion, soulful house textures and live
musical interplay. Built from the chemistry between producer Max Sinàl
and Ivor Novello-winning songwriter Renell Shaw, the
remix balances warmth and weight in equal measure, with an accompanying
instrumental version offering an even deeper dive into the groove.
Liverpool artist Sticky Dub reworks “Wait & See”, transforming
Oliver’s meditation on trust and strong foundations into a hazy,
system-ready cut. Drawing from broken beat, dub, UK garage and reggae
traditions, the remix combines swung rhythms, atmospheric low-end and
his unmistakable stylistic touch, giving the track a more nocturnal edge
while preserving its emotional pull.
On “Boss” featuring Roots Manuva, EVM128 delivers a rugged “Basement
Remix” that leans fully into the track’s bruk backbone. A respected
figure within London’s broken beat resurgence and the wider CoOp
Presents circle, EVM128 threads together restless percussion, heavy sub
pressure and soulful detail around Roots’ unmistakable vocal presence.
The remix amplifies the spirit of the original, a track born from
Oliver’s long-held desire to collaborate with one of his musical heroes,
while pushing it firmly towards the dancefloor.
Closing the collection, Alex Phountzi turns his attention to the album’s
title track. As a founding member of Bugz In The Attic and a
long-standing architect of West London’s broken beat movement, Phountzi
brings deep-rooted bruk sensibilities to “Between The Lines”, reshaping
its introspective tone into something spacious, rhythmic and quietly
propulsive. The remix preserves the track’s reflective core while
opening up new pockets of movement and texture within the arrangement.
Across all three remix volumes, Between The Lines has continued to
evolve beyond the framework of a single album release, becoming an
ongoing dialogue between artists connected through community,
collaboration and sound system culture. On Vol. 3, Oliver Night once
again hands his songs over to trusted voices from across that world,
with each remix uncovering new emotional weight, rhythmic possibilities
and future-facing energy within the originals.
