A fan of Above & Beyond, the remix marks i_o’s formal induction to the Anjunabeats family.
First heard on Above & Beyond’s 2011 album, 'Group Therapy', ‘Alchemy’ is stripped out and remodelled: propulsive drums push you forward relentlessly, clinically, twisting Zoë’s sonorous ode to lost love arms into something much darker.
