LP Giobbi - Light Places Remixes (2023)

LP Giobbi returns with ‘Light Places Remixes’ featuring remixes from a selection of close collaborators and esteemed producers–including DESIREE, DJ Tennis & Joseph Ashworth, Joe Goddard, Krystal Klear, Anden, Chloé Caillet, Le Chev and Femme House remix contest winner, VENGA–providing reimaginings and reworks from LP Giobbi’s long awaited debut album ‘Light Places’.

South African DJ and producer DESIREE provides a lush remix of “All I Need”, incorporating rolling percussion and a spirited piano solo to the original. “My rendition is a soundtrack to Southern African summers I enjoyed as a teenager where the weather was perfectly warm and joy was abundant; just like that piano solo. I resonate with what LP stands for so putting my touch to ‘All I Need’ was an honour.” Her ability to blend a myriad of styles (from Afro House to Deep House, Techno and every genre in between) in her DJ sets has led to bookings at notable clubs and festivals including DC-10, fabric, Hï Ibiza, Sonus, Lost Village and many more.

Elsewhere are two revamped tracks from ‘Light Places’ collaborators DJ Tennis and Joseph Ashworth, including a dub rework of the high-energy standout “Georgia” (“We kept the whole essence of the original, LP’s insane battle between a growling synth and a rock drummer in the breakdown. All we did was strip back some of the drums and bring a new dubbed out bass, and some wild new tape delay fx from the studio session in Paris.) and a groovy remix of “Can’t Let You Go” featuring vocals from Little Jet. (“We did this remix with a big nod to Groove Is In The Heart, and the Indie-band-meets-electro sound of the mid 2000s.”)

‘Light Places Remixes’ quickly follows the release of ‘Light Places’, which came out earlier this year. The album has seen high praise from the likes of Billboard, Forbes, SPIN, GRAMMY.com, DJ Mag, Relix, Bandcamp, PopMatters and LP herself graced the cover of MusicTech. Standing as a comprehensive declaration to who LP Giobbi is, ‘Light Places’ brought an organic freedom found in improvised music (from long-standing inspirations Bill Evans and The Grateful Dead) and spontaneous collaboration - paying homage to the people and music that shaped her as an artist.

‘Light Places’ came as a noteworthy highlight to LP Giobbi’s extraordinary rise to superstardom. She recently wrapped up a handful of sold out Dead House afterparties for Dead & Company’s final tour and embarked on a highly immersive cross-country road trip in a fully outfitted Airstream with DJ Tennis to celebrate the release of ‘Light Places’. LP also had standout performances at Coachella, Lightning In a Bottle, and Miami Music Week as well as opening and playing alongside the imitable Pete Tong at London’s O2 Arena in December, releasing the first official remix album of Jerry Garcia’s seminal 1972 debut ‘Garcia’ in January, and being nominated for Best Producer at DJ Mag’s Best of North America awards.

‘Light Places Remixes’ is out now on Counter Records.
