GALAXIANS — Remix In Motion

Galaxians – Remix In Motion is a six-track 12-inch vinyl release on Some Pulp Recordings, catalogue number PULP002V, released in September 2026. The record takes three highlights from the Leeds trio’s album Feel In Motion and reworks them for the dancefloor through new interpretations by Steven Julien under his 808 PRINCE alias, Greek duo Boys’ Shorts, Manchester-based producer Cervo and Vanity Project, alongside two extended G&JL 12-inch mixes. The result is a vibrant crossover between house, disco, boogie, funk, UK street soul and machine-driven club music, with each remixer bringing a distinctly different production language to the original Galaxians material. Remix In Motion follows directly from Feel In Motion, Galaxians’ 2026 album on Some Pulp Recordings. The album itself was released in July 2026 and developed the group’s established relationship with disco, house, boogie, funk and UK street soul, with vocals from Beccy Young and Sinead Campbell, synthesizers and programming from Jed Skinner, drums and programming from Matt Woodward, and additional production from Ross Halden. Remix In Motion takes that richly musical source material and places it into a more explicitly club-focused environment. The A-side opens with “Worlds Apart (Steven Julien 808 PRINCE Remix)”, a reworking by London producer and Apron Records founder Steven Julien. Using his 808 PRINCE alias, Julien approaches the Galaxians original through live 808 programming, transforming the track into a more urgent machinefunk groove. The remix retains the identity of “Worlds Apart” while emphasizing its rhythmic possibilities, giving the production a more direct relationship with drum-machine-driven club music. The result sits comfortably between house, funk, electro and the broader machine-funk tradition associated with Julien’s work. The choice of 808 PRINCE is particularly appropriate for Galaxians. The Leeds trio have always combined dancefloor energy with a distinctly musical approach to electronic rhythm, and Julien’s live 808 programming brings that rhythmic emphasis to the foreground. Rather than treating “Worlds Apart” as a conventional remix exercise, he effectively changes the physical character of the track, making the drum machine and its programming an essential part of the new arrangement. The remix is listed at 127 BPM in its digital version, giving the A1 a noticeably more driving tempo than the 118 BPM original. A2, “Lose My Head (Boys’ Shorts Remix)”, takes the record in a different direction. Greek duo Boys’ Shorts, whose debut album What Does It Take To Make These Men Happy? arrived shortly before this project, focus their remix on the vocal and musical foundations of the original. Their version cuts up Sinead Campbell’s vocal performance while retaining the track’s bassline and piano melody, turning the song into a more overtly club-oriented construction. The approach creates a tension between the recognizable soulfulness of the original and the more fragmented rhythmic treatment of the remix. The Boys’ Shorts remix is particularly interesting because “Lose My Head” already occupies an important position within Feel In Motion. On the original album, the track runs for 4:34 and features Sinead Campbell on vocals. The remix extends the material to 5:16 and concentrates on the elements most immediately suited to dancefloor manipulation: the vocal phrases, bassline and piano. This makes the new version feel less like an alternate album mix and more like a dedicated club interpretation. A3 is “Worlds Apart (G&JL 12” Mix)”, one of two extended mixes on the record credited to G&JL. The 12-inch mix expands the original material into a longer dancefloor arrangement, with the version running 6:56 on the Feel In Motion release. Its presence on Remix In Motion is important because it provides a bridge between the external remixes and Galaxians’ own original production, allowing the source material to remain audible in a more extended club format. The B-side begins with “Fantasy (Cervo Remix)”. Cervo, best known for his Banana Hill label and Manchester club night, approaches the Galaxians track from a more globally influenced and Balearic direction. Contemporary release information describes the remix as bringing global rhythms and Balearic wistfulness to “Fantasy”, producing a version that broadens the track’s dancefloor vocabulary without losing the emotional character of the original. The choice of “Fantasy” is significant because the original track is one of the central vocal pieces on Feel In Motion. The album version features Beccy Young and runs for 4:51, while Cervo’s remix reframes the song through a more rhythmically expansive lens. Instead of simply increasing the intensity, the remix introduces a different geographical and atmospheric sensibility, connecting Galaxians’ UK street soul foundation with Balearic and globally influenced club music. B2 brings Vanity Project into the picture with “Fantasy (Vanity Project Remix)”. Matt Bruce, the producer behind Vanity Project and the head of Claptrap Records, takes the same source material in an altogether more cosmic direction. The remix has been described as a cosmic house chugger, while the vocal performance from Beccy Young remains an important focal point. This version therefore places greater emphasis on the hypnotic side of the original composition, turning “Fantasy” into a more persistent house groove without removing its vocal identity. The digital version of the Vanity Project remix is listed at 121 BPM, making it the slowest of the specifically identified remixes on the project. That tempo reinforces its role as a chugging house interpretation rather than a high-energy peak-time track. The combination of Beccy Young’s vocal performance and the slower, more persistent rhythmic framework gives the B2 a strong late-night and after-hours potential. Closing the record is “Fantasy (G&JL 12” Mix)”, completing the symmetry established by the A3 version of “Worlds Apart”. The two G&JL mixes give the release its extended club backbone, while the four guest remixes provide contrasting perspectives from producers working across machinefunk, indie dance, house, Balearic and globally influenced electronic music. This makes Remix In Motion considerably more than a conventional remix EP: it functions as a compact reinterpretation of the musical world established by Feel In Motion. The release also demonstrates the unusually broad stylistic range of Galaxians. Their music has previously been described through connections to late-1980s New York “freak disco”, Liquid Liquid, Arthur Russell and Detroit acid house, while their own Bandcamp identifies the project through disco house, electronic, street soul, boogie and funk. Remix In Motion extends those existing references rather than abandoning them. The external producers simply expose different aspects of the same musical foundation. For DJs, Galaxians – Remix In Motion is particularly versatile because the six-track sequence offers several different approaches to the same underlying material. The 808 PRINCE remix of “Worlds Apart” provides the most machine-driven and rhythmically urgent option; Boys’ Shorts turn “Lose My Head” into a vocal-led club workout; the G&JL mixes extend Galaxians’ original compositions for longer blends; Cervo brings Balearic and global rhythmic colour to “Fantasy”; and Vanity Project pushes the same track towards cosmic house. The resulting 12-inch can move naturally through house, disco, boogie, street soul, funk and leftfield club sets. For collectors, PULP002V is also an important companion to Galaxians’ Feel In Motion album and to the development of Some Pulp Recordings. The label’s debut catalogue release was Feel In Motion, issued as PULP001V, while Remix In Motion follows as PULP002V. The two releases therefore form a clear early sequence for the label, with the second catalogue number expanding the first through a carefully selected group of remixers and extended mixes. Galaxians – Remix In Motion ultimately captures the versatility of Feel In Motion by allowing different producers to reinterpret its strongest dancefloor moments. From Steven Julien’s urgent 808 programming and Boys’ Shorts’ vocal manipulation to Cervo’s Balearic and global rhythmic approach, Vanity Project’s cosmic house treatment and the extended G&JL 12-inch mixes, PULP002V presents Galaxians from several complementary angles. Released by Some Pulp Recordings as a six-track 12-inch vinyl record, it is a strong intersection of UK street soul, disco house, funk, boogie and contemporary club music, designed as much for the dancefloor as for collectors of distinctive modern 12-inch releases.
