Emanuel Satie and Maga reunite for ‘Lifted’, a vibrant new vocal-led house single that marks another significant collaboration for the pair. Released through Factory 93 Records, the track features the combined talents of Tim Engelhardt and Stee Downes, resulting in a sophisticated production that bridges classic house sensibilities with modern club aesthetics.
At the heart of the composition is Stee Downes’ soulful vocal performance, which provides an emotive anchor for the track. The production is meticulously layered, driven by warm Rhodes chords, disco-infused strings, and a funk-forward bassline. These elements, combined with crisp percussion, create an uplifting atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
A Continued Creative Partnership
This release serves as a follow-up to the producers' previous collaboration on Factory 93, titled ‘Knockout’. The creative synergy between Emanuel Satie and Maga continues to evolve, further solidified by their shared involvement in the SCENARIOS collective. Alongside Tim Engelhardt and Sean Doron, the group has become a staple in the international electronic scene, hosting high-profile showcases at iconic venues ranging from Burning Man and Amnesia Ibiza to Cafe del Mar Phuket.
The track is designed with the dancefloor in mind, balancing technical precision with a warm, inviting energy that showcases the distinct musical identities of all four contributors. As they continue to push the boundaries of their collaborative sound, ‘Lifted’ stands as a testament to their collective vision.
