Zhazhelo releases new dance anthem with "What If - Remix"

Independent artist Zhazhelo provides something quite human and hauntingly relevant with her new release, "What If – Remix." This is a reimagining of a cinder-block wall to dance music and not just to get your body moving. It wants to make you think.

The remix is accompanied by a mind-bending visual, an aural experiment, and a raw testimony of deep emotion in the age of virtual consciousness. Zhazhelo, who has never shied away from heavy themes, plunges headlong into the emerging relationship between humans and technology. But rather than a dystopian query, she asks if our interaction with machines wasn't just utilitarian but also emotional. 

She decided to visualize a human interacting with a robot, and she delivered the concept of a man telling off an android for getting emotional, reflecting the song's internal tug-of-war and balance between synthetic rhythms and organic textures.

"What If - Remix" is a genre-blending treat. Zhazhelo's signature sound is analog pulses that weave throughout with the craft of all organic sounds augmented by jewels of bright sequencers. Instantly captivating, you are lulled into a hypnotic cocktail of velvety synths and supple bass lines, shot through with live instrumental extrusions. It's a song made for early-morning road trips and late-night dancefloors, as good at stirring your soul as it is kicking up your feet.

This isn't a standard remix, but it was cranked out to capitalize on the success of a previous hit. It's a respectful reimagination that maintains its footing quite comfortably, typically in ways that augment the original's emotional impact.

Days following its release, "What If – Remix" was embraced by leading electronic and dance playlists on all the major streaming services, suggesting that Zhazhelo's alchemy of meaning and movement is making an impact wherever you are.
