Having spent the year tirelessly touring the globe, Booka Shade return with ‘Sweet Lies’ – the third single to be taken from their acclaimed album, The Sun & The Neon Light.

At its core, ‘Sweet Lies‘ is an emotive, slightly melancholic song about escaping real life by getting lost in nightlife. Booka Shade’s ‘Easy Way Out’ mix is one long, compelling reason to do exactly that.

Patrice Bäumel furnishes his label bosses with a thrilling remix that aims for the dancefloor but also celebrates the song-form at the heart of it.

Meanwhile, Matthias Tanzmann offers a tough, percussive techno rework, taking minimal elements from the original track and massaging them into maximum effect.

Booka Shade’s ‘Bitter Truth’ mix is an altogether darker reimagining of ‘Sweet Lies’ than the ‘Easy Way Out’ version. A menacing, seductive synth melody bends in and out of focus, set against crunching, crowd-moving chords and teasing vocals.
