NINA, THE FIREFLIES — Andrew Weatherall Remixes (ltd. 12")

Nina & The Fireflies – Andrew Weatherall Remixes (Ltd. is a 12-inch vinyl issued by WRWTFWW Records (catalogue WRWTFWW137). The EP arrives as a companion to the band’s album All That Bluster and gathers the final remixes Andrew Weatherall completed before his death in February 2020, placing the record squarely in the label’s recent output of forward-looking electronic music. Within WRWTFWW’s 2027 schedule the release follows the earlier LP Controlled Risk (WRWTFWW135) by Bruno Spoerri & Reto Weber and sits alongside Tim Reaper’s 3-x-12” sfs/in vain (WRWTFWW133) from 2026. The label’s recent catalogue has leaned into experimental dancefloor terrain, from the cyber-future textures of the Cyberpunk 2077 Future Sound of Night City LP (WRWTFWW094) to the analog-driven improvisations of Startled Insects (WRWTFWW110). The Weatherall remixes extend this aesthetic, marrying the duo’s psychedelic folk origins with the late producer’s signature dub-laden, post-punk ambience. Side A opens with “If Freedom Comes (Andrew Weatherall Remix)”. The track reinterprets the original’s melodic core through a driving dub bass that pushes the groove forward, setting a kinetic tone for the side. It segues into “Smokin’ (Andrew Weatherall Remix)”, which retains the hypnotic pulse while introducing a darker, more atmospheric undercurrent that deepens the EP’s mood. Side B begins with the standout “Je Te Vois (Andrew Weatherall Remix)”. Weatherall’s treatment slows the vocal line into a low, otherworldly register, creating a slow-burning duet that feels both cinematic and introspective. The side closes with “Get Out Of Town (Andrew Weatherall Remix)”, a track that balances the previous intensity with a tighter, rhythm-focused arrangement, offering a final burst of energy that resolves the EP’s narrative arc. For Nina, the release follows a prolific 2026 year that saw “Internal Makeup” on Faux Poly (FXPLY026) and “Hide & Tweek LP” on White Peach (WPR088), both 12-inch vinyl statements that explored dense, melodic electronica. Earlier still, “Uno Riddim” (IMRV042, 2025) on Innamind Recordings displayed a penchant for rhythmic experimentation. The Weatherall EP therefore adds a distinct collaborative chapter, highlighting how the duo’s material can be reframed through a legendary producer’s lens. In the current underground scene, the record offers a rare glimpse of Weatherall’s late-stage remix approach, blending acid-house intensity with pop-house accessibility. Its four tracks provide DJs with versatile tools: the opening A-side cuts work well for building momentum in early-set slots, while the B-side’s “Je Te Vois” serves as a dramatic peak for late-night moments. The final remix’s tighter structure makes it suitable for transitions back into more kinetic sets. From a collector’s perspective the 12-inch format preserves the tactile experience of Weatherall’s analog sensibility. The pressing respects the label’s tradition of high-quality vinyl releases, offering a physical artifact that reflects the EP’s dual role as a dancefloor document and a tribute to a pivotal figure in British electronic music. Nina & The Fireflies – Andrew Weatherall Remixes (Ltd., WRWTFWW Records, catalogue WRWTFWW137, 12-inch vinyl, four tracks) captures a unique moment of collaboration, delivering both club-ready grooves and a poignant homage to Andrew Weatherall’s enduring influence.
