Anika

Anika announces Change: The Remixes, and shares “Planningtochange” (Planningtorock Remix). As an avid fan of dance music and the communal power of the club, Anika wanted to give her 2021 album Change a wider range by entrusting it to some friends in contemporary electronic music – Planningtorock, Dave Clarke, Lauren Flax, Maral, and PDBY. The result is a remix record that illustrates both the underlying compositional depth of the album and its ability to inspire equally exciting new songs.

Anika elaborates: “Change is quite a specific album. It was made in the context of the lockdown, very much a headphones, inside-your-head record. As a big fan of DJing and dancing in dark spaces, I wanted this to go further, keep growing, expanding, so I asked some friends from very different worlds to take it somewhere else, beyond the bird-filled hills of Brandenburg. This is what happened.”

Planningtorock’s Jam Rahuoja Rostron adds: “Anika is a dear old friend of mine and I’ve loved her music right from the beginning. Her latest LP is sooooo good and I really love Change so I was super happy be able to make a remix for this which was also a lot of fun to make.”

Anika will also tour North America in May and June. All dates are below and tickets are on sale now here.
