There has been a lot of excitement around the inaugural release of MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS' first single 'Water Lyf'. We premiered the track a couple of weeks ago and it quickly became one of our most viewed articles, staying that way for a number of weeks, meaning you all obviously loved it.

Of course who wouldn't love it with it's ghostly vocals and dreamy synth hooks, Thomas Brydon, the man behind MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS, has definitely made a mark on everyone and we couldn't be happier for the guy.

Brisbane's KEIIKO lended her lovely vocals to Brydon's premiere track, and now 'Water Lyf' has been given a little mix around by electronic duo FRIENDSHIPS. Nic and Misha have taken a listen to 'Water Lyf' and obviously thought that the track was worthy of a refix, and it couldn't have turned out better! FRIENDSHIPS are the duo who are, in their words "making club music for people who hate clubbing", and of course this also means that they have a talent for mixing up some pretty sweet tracks, and their refix of 'Water Lyf' is no exception.

Opening with some pretty warped samples, the refix is definitely hitting the nail on the head with the title 'Cerebral Lazercrunk Refix'. It's a bit of a trip with synths and samples of 'Water Lyf' dropping and dripping in all directions, it's unique and just a mix of deep house and electronic MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS  love. The refix is smooth and has ethereal elements that are reminiscent of the original, and then it kicks into a thick drum and bass jam that just rocks hard.

Both MOTION PICTURE ACTRESS and FRIENDSHIPS have EP's coming out of Brisbane/ New York City label Silo Arts Records, and what better way to celebrate than this refix that connects the two amazing acts together. 'Water Lyf' is available for free through Silo Arts, and FRIENDSHIPS' 'Cerebral Lazercrunk Refix' is also available for free; grabbing both is a must!
