1 Electricity (Arca Remix)  

Japanese icon HIKARU UTADA has teamed up with legendary producer, artist and polymath ARCA for a new remix of their track “Electricity” – listen here. Featured on the global superstar’s 2024 best-of album SCIENCE FICTION, the original track was produced in collaboration with Sam Shepherd (Floating Points), its infectious chorus and jazzy instrumentation making it an immediate standout on the collection. Now, two generational sparks of talent combine: ARCA, known for her innovative soundscapes and genre-pushing electronic experimentation, manages to bring out a new side to the already expansive original.

Speaking on the collaboration, HIKARU UTADA comments: “It was an honor, and it was really exciting because I didn’t know what to expect. There’s an unmistakable Arca sound, yet she draws from such a beautiful range of music and experiences that you never really know what you’re going to get. What we got was incredible and beautiful. I’m very happy and excited to have had this opportunity to collaborate with her.”

ARCA adds, “It’s a song that’s so full of life and so vibrant and so much about a warmth, a connection that can’t be broken. I wanted to do my best to recontextualize it sonically from the original, which is already so amazing, and try to do something different. In this instance, I wanted to go for something celebrational and to make it as electric as the song title implied – euphoric even.”

Today’s remix follows the release of “Electricity (Karen Nyame KG Remix),” an Afrobeat-infused take that flips the synthy earworm into a soulful dance floor anthem.
