Golden Butterflies by The Fitness & Pony, Agata Jasper

The story behind the creation of Golden Butterflies is as organic as they come. Agata Jasper and The Fitness both rent studios in the basement of a spot on the St-Hubert strip in Montreal. One of Agata Jasper's members Ivann opened up an ableton project with this stunning vocal sample from a Manga, Samurai Champloo. The Fitness was instantly inspired by the beautiful sample and they worked together all day dreaming up worthy sounds to accompany the original sample. By coincidence, The Fitness had a session booked with Pony so the project was put on hold for a few hours. With his backpack and jacket still on Pony hopped into Agata Jasper's booth right before leaving to do a vocal take on what had become closer to a traditional song. Pony's take was flawless and at the moment we felt we'd found the missing piece of the puzzle. Agata Jasper & The Fitness unexpectedly stayed to work on until the wee hours of a cold Montreal morning.

What they were left with is a genre-bending ballad they'd all fell in love with. A drawn-out journey between the two voices that seem to sing to each other. The 'House of Gold Remix' was created because at their core they're dancers and wanted something for the floor. With a bold statement in their original song and groovy house remix they decided to complement it with a downtempo remix to showcase their love of each influence of music.

You can’t quite put your finger on the sound, but it’s like a unicorn running through a winter wonderland and finding two teenagers making out on the beach. It’s high energy house music, that delivers lo-fi attitude, rugged techno basslines and pulsating electro.
