Dan Mangan & Felix Cartal Join Forces For Folktronica Sunset Remix “Just Know It”
Coming off a 2023 JUNO nomination for his sixth album Being Somewhere, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Dan Mangan has released the new sunset remix of his hit single “Just Know It” from fellow Vancouverite/producer Felix Cartal.
“I love the idea that songs can live many lives,” says Mangan. “I’ve known Felix for a bit now and I love his general energy and approach. I encouraged him to make it his own. This Sunset Mix of ‘Just Know It’ feels like a drive down Hwy 101. It also gives me hope that I might finally hear one of my songs while getting my haircut.”
Adding to the collaboration, Felix shares, “[I was] flattered when Dan asked me to remix this single off his latest album! I only had one condition: I needed to fuck up his vocals. His response: ‘go bananas.’ I’ve been doing Sunset Mixes of my own songs but realized this would be the perfect time to try one for another artist. A moody deep house re-imagining of the record. And to tie everything together we got Jean Paul Langlois to come on board with his interpretation of the music into a beautiful sunset cover art. BC all around!”
Built around Mangan’s soft croon and the song’s main piano melody, new sunset remix drips with a warm brilliance and dance-forward energy, as the worlds of folk and electronica effortlessly merge together in harmony.
