In a seamless meeting of two of Germany’s most creative electronic voices, internationally renowned DJ and producer duo andhim now unveil their highly anticipated remix of Monolink’s “Powerful Play”, out now via Embassy One. Known for their emotive fusion of deep grooves and dynamic, electronic storytelling, andhim’s interpretation of “Powerful Play” reimagines the original into an evocative, hypnotic journey built for introspective dance floors and blissful sunrise moments.
Originally released in March 2025, Monolink’s “Powerful Play” has captured hearts and ears with its reflective storytelling, poignant vocal layers and rich fusion of acoustic and electronic textures. Delivering a musical musing on impermanence and presence — drawing listeners into a richly layered world of poetic lyricism, acoustic instrumentation and electronic subtlety — the track, which was accompanied by a beautiful music video created by Copenhagen-based filmmakers FRANZI, explored themes of human connection and emotional legacy through the lens of siblinghood and memory.
Now, andhim rework the track with their signature blend of luscious grooves, refined electronica and subtle euphoria, breathing fresh life into the original while preserving its philosophical core. In typical andhim fashion, the remix plays with dynamics and space, pulling Monolink’s haunting vocal lines through intricate rhythms, warm analog textures and a hypnotic build that carries listeners through an immersive sonic narrative. The duo’s characteristic groove meets Monolink’s elegiac depth, resulting in a track that’s both club-ready and emotionally resonant.
Formed in 2011 by Simon Haehnel and Tobias Müller, andhim has become one of electronic music’s most revered duos. With collaborations spanning Diplo, RÜFÜS DU SOL and Theophilus London, and residencies in cultural hotspots like New York, Los Angeles, London and Berlin, they continue to define their own path in the global electronic scene, boasting a huge catalogue of releases on some of the industry’s most esteemed record labels. Their own imprint, Superfriends Records, founded in 2016, further exemplifies their devotion to curating forward-thinking, genre-blending sounds. A label that captures a refined and contagiously unique electronic sound, it is an outlet for the duo’s most ambitious ideas, and has also welcomed leading electronic artists including Roman Flügel and Acid Pauli.
