Album Review: Life Is Life Remixes by Flowparty
Flowparty’s Life Is Life Remixes is an energetic dive into the world of Euro House and Progressive Trance, showcasing the Swedish producer's knack for crafting infectious beats. Released under the Not On Label imprint, this remix album takes a single idea—life itself—and spins it into six distinct interpretations. While not every track hits the same high notes, the collection offers enough variety to keep listeners hooked.
The standout here has to be "Life Is Life (Club Remix)." It’s the kind of track that grabs you from the first beat. The bassline pulses with relentless energy, while shimmering synths add layers of euphoria. You can almost picture yourself in some Stockholm club at 2 AM, surrounded by neon lights and dancing strangers. This version feels like a proper anthem—it doesn’t just play; it commands attention. If there’s one track on the album that begs to be heard through a massive sound system, this is it.
Another gem worth mentioning is "Don’t Follow [The Stream] (Dennis Jamms Radio Version)." What makes this one memorable isn’t just its catchy hooks but also how different it feels compared to the rest of the pack. Where other tracks lean heavily into dancefloor bangers, this remix slows things down slightly, letting the melody breathe. There’s something oddly introspective about it, which contrasts nicely with the otherwise upbeat vibe of the album. Plus, Dennis Jamms clearly knows his way around a mix—he tweaks the original just enough to make it radio-friendly without losing its soul.
Of course, no review would be complete without acknowledging the slight unevenness across the album. Tracks like “C&C Race Attack Club Remix” feel more functional than inspired, serving their purpose as background tunes rather than earworms. But honestly? That’s part of what makes this project so intriguing—it’s less about perfection and more about experimentation. Flowparty seems to be having fun here, trying out new ideas and seeing what sticks.
In reflecting on Life Is Life Remixes, I’m reminded of how music often mirrors life itself: unpredictable, sometimes messy, but always full of surprises. And hey, who knew a song called “Life Is Life” could take you on such a wild ride? Maybe that’s the point—life isn’t static, and neither is this album. Just don’t expect it to give you all the answers… unless those answers come in the form of thumping basslines and soaring melodies.
