about

Out now, “Drink The Water (Dub)/Drink The Water (Dr. Pudding Remix)” is the new single from London-based three-piece Animanz and Congolese vocalist Juanita Euka. This pairing features two exciting new versions of the hypnotic “Drink The Water” taken from their debut album ‘Exotic Other’.

In “Drink The Water”, Animanz playfully drench sleepy Cumbia rhythms and Juanita’s cooing lyrics with reverb to create an eerie track that charms the listener. Demonstrating their aptitude for storytelling, the track’s verses outline an internal battle against temptation whilst the chorus echoes a spooky call to drink the poisoned water. “Drink The Water (Dub)” was created when the band were playing around creating a live video which they filmed through water. In this version, spacey reverb and dub textures accentuate the zany guitar hook of the original to create a playful, genre-bending track.

In “Drink The Water (Dr. Pudding Remix)”, Dr. Pudding applies complex layering to Juanita’s vocals and adds an a cappella verse, bringing a crispness to the track, whilst immersing the audience in the repeated line “immerse yourself, come underneath”. Dr. Pudding plays percussion in Animanz and recorded their album at his studio. Challenging himself to transform a track he holds a close connection with, he says; “The original was a dark, Cumbia soaked lament on the dangers of blind temptation. While my remix starts with a similar degree of trepidation and uncertainty, it ends with me cleansing the waters and taking this towards a joyful celebration of life and new beginnings.”
