Beatowls Remix Transforms the Underground: A New Light in the Darkness
Beatowls: "(Do You Want to Be) Loved" - The maXIon Remix
Taken from their critically acclaimed debut album “Marma”, the track is reimagined by celebrated producer maXIon (Gary Curran), injecting new depth to its haunting beauty. Gary amplifies the spectral, emotionally raw atmosphere with layered synth hooks, spatial effects and hypnotic transitions. This elevates the song into new territories of sound and emotion, making the maXIon Remix a key moment in Beatowls' journey.
“‘(Do You Want to Be) Loved’ is an undeniably profound track, one that I consider an undiscovered gem. Having the chance to remix it was both a privilege and a joy. From the outset, I was captivated by the striking interplay between the male and female vocals, each echoing off the other in a way that felt powerfully rhetorical. My goal was to let every element breathe, particularly the lead piano, which carries so much emotional weight. The result is a remix that both honours and hopefully elevates the essence of the original.”
Gary Curran’s Resurgence as maXIon
As a key figure in The Japanese Popstars with collaborations with the likes Beyoncé and Daft Punk, Gary Curran’s journey through the peaks and troughs of the music industry has led him to a creative re-birth. His work as maXIon, including his debut album Curvatures, reflects a mature, introspective return to music that blends cinematic techno with ethereal atmospheres. His remix of "(Do You Want to Be) Loved" encapsulates a renewed artistic vision, where deep, emotional soundscapes meet meticulous production techniques.
About Beatowls
Formed in the shadow of Liverpool's glistening asphalt and barred-window warehouse buildings, Beatowls have crafted a sound defined by the tension between melodic euphoria and lyrical angst. Their debut album, Marma, is a testament to this, with ten meticulously constructed tracks that navigate the complex interplay between human intimacy and the cold touch of technology. Their sound, compared to the likes of Portishead and Angelo Badalamenti, captures a unique cinematic quality, particularly evident in tracks like "All I See Is Trouble" and "Please Lie to Me".
