ANNA & Kittin: Forever Ravers
“This is a club-facing electro house monster that’s sure to tear up dance floors”
ANNA returns for her third round on Speicher following an incredible year of non-stop touring the globe, remixing Jon Hopkins and contributing to a recent Afterlife compilation. Kittin (formerly known as Miss Kittin) needs no introduction — she is nothing short of a trailblazer in dance music history by contributing countless times through her voice, music and DJing.
Together they are Forever Ravers — dispatching a message of everlasting unity for the dance floor community. ANNA brings her most voracious production skills to date interwound with Kittin sounding at her best in an explosive consequence that we can only describe as being a must-hear Techno hymn.
“ANNA’s production is her most scorching to date, riding on a rude, radioactive bassline ... that’s a natural fit for the queen of electroclash”
ANNA takes the original past the stratosphere with her Raving In Space Mix. Not to be misinterpreted as a dub version, ANNA keeps the potency of the original but expands the core instrumental elements that moves from suspension to release in a decisively throttling means.
Some time ago, ANNA who I never met in person, sent me a bomb. Keith Flint had just passed away and I felt the urge to celebrate, with ANNA, the empowerment and the freedom that rave culture offers all of us. ‘Forever Ravers’ was born.
Thank you ANNA for this very special gift. More than ever, music must have a meaning, a message.

From her studio to the dance floor: ANNA creating ‘Forever Ravers’
“With ANNA’s surging, in-your-face style and Kittin’s unrelenting electro-clash attitude, the two come together like a techno-PB&J”
When I started to work on this track, I could not envision how it would turn out, I was just making it, bit by bit. After doing the first beats, I made the bassline using Reaktor.
The sound and the sequence reminded me a bit of the old school stuff from The Hacker and David Carreta and the idea of inviting Kittin to do the vocals came to mind. She said she loved the track and she was gonna do the vocals and the result could not be better.
I am a huge fan of hers going back many years and I have a lot of her records from when I started playing, right through to her recent productions.
