Naag Unveils Mesmerizing Remix of “Luigin” by El Mundo & Zazou
A Soulful, Genre-Defying Journey Across Cultures and Soundscapes
Multicultural producer and DJ Hargo (aka Naag) announces the release of the El Mundo & Zazou Remix of his acclaimed single “Luigin”—a stunning reinterpretation that fuses tribal downtempo with soulful blues, Eastern melodies, and dreamlike textures. The remix, now available via Berlin’s forward-thinking label trndmsk, builds on the original’s hypnotic groove and elevates it into a cinematic, emotional soundscape.
Naag has long been inspired by the boundary-pushing work of El Mundo & Zazou, dropping their tracks in his sets since 2016. “When I was creating the original version of Luigin, I had their vibe in mind,” he shares. “So when the opportunity came to collaborate, it felt like a full-circle moment.” That collaboration blossomed in a series of creative exchanges, beginning with a Zoom session where El Mundo immediately connected with Naag’s artistic vision.
Produced over several months in Denmark, the remix blends vocal samples from the original with lush atmospheres, subtle Eastern instrumentation, and a deep, pulsating beat. Naag first heard the remix while en route to his sister’s Indian wedding in Cabo San Lucas. “I felt like I was floating in a warm Caribbean sea, looking up at the stars,” he recalls. “It was more than a remix—it was a piece of art.”
The El Mundo & Zazou Remix was first released on their own label, Quetame, and then featured alongside a second remix by MiRET and the original version on the Luigin EP, released via trndmsk. The EP reached #25 on Beatport’s Organic House Worldwide Chart and was named one of 2024’s Top Tracks in the genre.
Raised on a yoga ashram in the deserts of New Mexico, Naag’s unique upbringing—immersed in Indian classical, Native American, and Latin music—infuses his work with authenticity and cultural depth. Inspired by legends like Richie Hawtin and genre pioneers like DJ Cheb and Chancha Via Circuito, Naag has carved a niche in the global electronic scene. His music—often a blend of downtempo, Afro house, and deep house—is designed to transcend genre and ignite dancefloors with spiritual resonance.

Sohodolls delve into rich swarming trap vibes with new single ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’
The tantalising, ever evolving, dark electro-pop musical world of Sohodolls is now delving into rich, swarming trap vibes, with new single ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’, an evocative song about a brief encounter with a kind stranger.
Having recently featured in Netflix’s top 10 series ‘Geek Girl’ with their song ‘Bad’, the new single brings similar St. Trinian’s punk-girl attitude but buried deep within a haze of beats and pulsating electronics, which escalate into an infectious sweaty club banger for all the gamers and misfits who, like the band, also blend between genres.
Whilst on the surface an anthem for regretting the night before, ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’, goes much deeper to fantasize how things may have turned out, combining dreamy atmospheres with fast-paced, dystopian moods as the story twists and turns from hangover recollections to imaginary future romantic scenarios.
“It’s about that unexpected encounter with someone who has a dream-like quality and never being able to forget them. It’s about an instant connection that completely caught me off-guard”, explains Sohodolls’ Maya von Doll. “Lyrically I wanted to continue the story the way I wanted it to go before being pulled away from that magical moment.”
Produced by Marcus Andersson and mixed by Austin Leeds, ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’continues an exciting new era for Sohodolls as they limber up to launch their long-awaited new album this year. Known for their 00’s hit ‘Bang Bang Bang Bang’, which Madonna’s daughter recently sent viral via TikTok, Sohodolls prove once again with ‘Last Night Was A Mistake’ that they are up there with the best alt-pop artists around at the moment whilst retaining their London goth-scene roots.
