emi & MNEEMO – Remix Collection Vol.1: from online songs to club versions

The collaboration between Emilie Arfush (emi) and Yaroslav Gorovoy (MNEEMO) began after a live performance in London, where early versions of the remixes were played in a club setting.

Some projects don't start with a release plan. They start with a moment. Remix Collection Vol.1 is one of those projects.

The collaboration between Emilie Arfush (emi) and Yaroslav Gorovoy (MNEEMO) began after a live performance in London, where early versions of the remixes were played in a club setting. What was first meant as a single remix slowly turned into a full project.

Instead of making isolated edits, the idea became clearer: to take three key songs from emi's catalogue and rebuild them into a cohesive club-focused release.

A different approach to remixing:

emi's original tracks are emotional, personal and vocal-led. MNEEMO's background is rooted in club culture, DJ sets and electronic music built for late nights and dancefloors.

Rather than changing the songs beyond recognition, the goal was simple: keep the emotional weight of the vocals, shift the surrounding world into a rhythmic, club-driven space.

The remixes were tested live before being finalised, allowing the project to develop naturally through performance rather than studio theory alone.

The result is a blend of afro house, house and modern electronic music — without being locked into a single genre.

Track by track:

Metamorphosis (MNEEMO Remix)

Metamorphosis was the starting point of the project. The original version gained strong attention online and became a defining song in emi's early catalogue.

In the remix, MNEEMO keeps the emotional tension of the vocal intact while introducing a deeper groove and a slower, more hypnotic progression. The track is rebuilt for extended play, allowing space for repetition, movement and gradual energy shifts — designed for club systems rather than short-form listening.

It's less about impact and more about atmosphere.

One Of Them (MNEEMO Remix)

One Of Them carries a more direct lyrical message in its original form. The remix leans into rhythm and pulse, giving the vocal a steady foundation that works naturally in DJ sets.

Here, the focus is on flow. The track sits comfortably between afro-influenced grooves and classic house structures, making it easy to blend into longer mixes. It's a functional track, but without losing its emotional presence.

Desperate Eyes (MNEEMO Remix)

Desperate Eyes closes the EP on a more introspective note. The remix strips things back slightly, allowing the vocal to breathe while maintaining a subtle forward motion.

Compared to the other two tracks, this version feels more restrained and reflective. It works both as a late-night club track and as a standalone listening experience, showing a quieter side of the collaboration.

A complete remix project.

Remix Collection Vol.1 is not a compilation of unrelated remixes. The three tracks are intentionally connected, sharing tempo, atmosphere and emotional continuity.

For emi, this marks the first time her songs have been reimagined together by a single producer. For MNEEMO, the project documents a process rooted in live performance and long-form electronic music rather than quick releases.

emi & MNEEMO – Remix Collection Vol.1 is available now on all major streaming platforms.
