Once in a While (The Remixes EP) (7 files)

Vanessa Daou kicks off 2012 with 'Once In A While (The Remixes EP)'', the third single lifted from her self-produced 6th studio album 'Joe Sent Me' (issued via her own DAOU Records label imprint),

The tender smoky ballad is a gripping romantic love letter where Daou bares her soul - and burning desires - to a lover in waiting. Set against a smoldering backdrop of slinky late-night jazz and blues (layered with Rhodes, brushed drums and sax), the sumptuous track is a smoldering slice of poetic aural erotica worthy of multiple plays.

For the remix EP, Daou delivers a feverish collection of expansive reworks mixes that transform the sultry original into a hypnotic, deep pulsing catharsis that sounds right at home on the dancefloor, in your headphones, at lounges or in more intimate settings. The sublime 7-track set includes intoxicating mixes by Charles Webster, Nor Elle (aka Terry Lee Brown Jr.), Finnish deep and soulful, minimal-tech craftsman Roberto Rodriguez and LA-based, gritty electro-house producer/remixer DJ Bander.
