JESSICA SKYE SHARES DOWNTEMPO REMIX ALBUM ‘FluōState: Reimagined I’

A sonic journey blending wellness and deep listening, reimagining the art of flow

LA-based DJ and producer Jessica Skye has shared ‘FluōState: Reimagined I’, a soothing, chilled-out album that draws together lead tracks from her previous two albums FluōState 001 and FluōState 002 and presents them as blissful, intricate remixed versions.

Out now via Platoon, the LP is Inspired by her dedicated practice as a yoga and meditation teacher, Jessica’s unique productions bridge the gap between electronic dance music and wellness. The calming resonance of FluōState: Reimagined Ihighlights her passion for using music to create and hold spaces for others.

The inspiration for the album project has roots in Jessica’s formative musical memories, and her love of seminal ‘after-hours’ style complication collections such as ‘Back To Mine’, ‘Late Night Tales’, and ‘DJ Kicks’, with the sounds of trip hop, acid jazz and ambient, which remain some of her favourite “go-to” genres for deep listening.

“These have always been my go-to music choices when I’m trying to focus, relax, or just trying to hold a space for myself… They’re such a comfort for me. Re-working my own catalog for this project and purpose has been a really inspiring endeavour. I hope listeners enjoy going on this sonic journey as much as I enjoyed creating it.”

The sunset dance-floor groove of Turiya from FluōState 001 is reworked as a dreamy, vocal-led downtempo composition, lulling the listener into a place of relaxation and quiet contemplation. This also served as the first single from this LP.

The reimagined version of Virgo Rising is a gorgeous, serene ambient track that softens the original’s crisp percussive elements with washes of Balearic-esque pads and a gentle melodic motif. Moon In Aries, takes you on an almost kosmiche tone, with a palette of cosmic-sounding synths and a vocal that appears like a mantra.

The club-leaning tracks Enter Nyx and Mindgames from Fluō State 002 (which both reached the Top Ten on Beatports Organic House chart) are magically transformed here into ethereal, otherworldly pieces. The addition of a beguiling sitar to ‘Mindgames’ – the second single – in particular sees Jessica continue to expand her sound palette in striking new ways.

Tropic of Pisces, (also reaching Beatport’s Organic House Top Ten) blends deep chords and a gliding bass with whispers of a marimba and euphoric pads. It’s a moment of pure release, with Jessica’s thoughtful production touches guiding the listener on a reflective, calming and melodic journey.

FluōState: Reimagined I is out now via Platoon.
