RÜFÜS DU SOL released the official remix to Surrender album single “On My Knees,” from longtime collaborator, Rose Ave label-mate and mix engineer Cassian. Out now on Rose Avenue and Reprise / Warner Records, the remix lands as the live-electronic trio continue their tour of Brazil and Argentina; before heading back to North America and Europe this summer to perform at a total of 32 cities. Cassian joins a heralded list of industry titans who have remixed previous singles off the Surrender LP, including Innellea, Vintage Culture, Adana Twins, Solomun, and Anyma. 

“I heard the first demo of ‘On My Knees’ towards the end of 2020. It had a wildness & darkness that I loved immediately,” says Cassian in a press statement. “It wasn’t until about a year later that I’d finished mixing it along with the rest of Surrender. Once the album was finished I knew I wanted to remix ‘On My Knees’ and started playing around with the stems with the intention of having a remix ready to play at Sundream in March. Fast forward to the end of February and I hadn’t worked on the remix at all.” He continues,

“For the remix I really just wanted to take the subs to the next level & arrange it in a way that would work in a DJ set while keeping as many elements from the original as possible. Playing it for the first time at Sundream was a surreal moment and the reaction from the crowd cemented the direction I had taken with the remix. I purely made it to be something special & unique to play during my DJ sets so for it to be getting an official release feels amazing.”

– Cassian

Based in Los Angeles, Cassian has spent the past 10 years cementing his name as one of the most versatile acts to emerge from Sydney’s electronic scene. RÜFÜS DU SOL and Cassian’s relationship stems back to the early days of both their careers; Cassian, a talented mix engineer, has mixed three of their critically acclaimed albums: Bloom, Solace, and Surrender. In doing so, he earned multiple ARIA awards and Grammy nominations, and joined the band in winning the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Recording this year for single ‘Alive’. 

The “On My Knees” remix arrives in the midst of extensive touring for both artists. While Cassian is supporting fellow Australian producer Hayden James on the road across the US, RÜFÜS DU SOL are only just starting their expansive Surrender tour. Cassian’s “On My Knees” remix demonstrates the continued synergy between both acts. Their shared musical history defies the limits of the studio or the stage, and the remix is a testament to Cassian’s coveted production prowess.
