about

Following a string of exquisitely crafted remixes for renowned Japanese audiovisual artist okamotonoriski and fellow Malaysian electronic ambient musician Flica, neo-classical pianist and multifaceted producer Shuzhen reunites with the esteemed mü-nest label, this time embarking on a fresh interpretation of the music by Malaysian independent rock band ARVAN. Shuzhen's artistic lens brings forth an entirely new stylistic incarnation, transforming ARVAN's "Desert" from its original dark and emotive emo-infused core into a sleek and classy deep house gem, a remarkable remix aptly titled "Desert (Shuzhen's Oasis Rework)."

Guided by concise yet potent electronic beats, Aki, the lead vocalist of ARVAN, intertwines her soulful vocals with Shuzhen's vision, conjuring a warm and vibrant sonic atmosphere that transports listeners to a place where they can bask in the breath of afternoon sunlight and dance in harmony with the music. This fashionable remix undeniably brings to mind the exceptional dancefloor productions once graced by Ben Watt (of the awesome Everything But The Girl) during his Buzzin' Fly label time.

"I've always aspired to create music that makes people dance," shares Shuzhen, revealing her fresh musical direction.

This reinterpretation bestows ARVAN's music with an entirely new facade, seamlessly blending the fluidity and contemporary appeal of electronic music with the distinctive emotional essence of emo rock. As a musical metamorphosis, this rebirth of "Desert" becomes a unique encounter where emotions converge with style. As the rhythm of the afternoon gently reverberates, it is time to prepare oneself for the entwining interplay of electric fashion and emo rock, to once again immerse ourselves in the joyous dance of music, and into the vibrant indie club sounds from South East Asia.

This remix also serves as the second installment within the musical project "ARVAN's Rework," curated by Malaysia's independent music label, mü-nest.
