'Aurora' is Awesome Soundwave's ninth release of 2023 on Beatport, matching the label's full count for the year to date. The Ivory Sunrise Mix, filed as Melodic House and Techno, arrived on the label in June, and Massano placed it fourth of 10 in his own Theory EP Chart on 28 June.

It marks Marc Romboy's first release on Awesome Soundwave since 'Music Made for Aliens', a gap of about three months. Harmony sits out in front of the drums, with the percussion running crowded beneath it. The mix sits loud, with little give under its peaks, and the top end runs dark, a dense, weighted read built for a peak-time slot. Fourth of 10 in a chart curated by another artist is a strong result for a label's own release closing out its ninth of the year.

The label said

Following on from Marc’s glorious studio album released in March of this year we are now so excited to present an amazing collection of remixes from a truly amazing collection of producers!

As you can see from the list Marc has invited some of his favourite artists of today plus some perennial legends to come on board. And each one of them have delivered with panache and a unique style that really sets this package apart !

From the first remix from Toto Chiavetta to the last by the legend that is Josh Wink we know you will not be able to get off the dance floor! The diversity of artists that Marc has chosen is wide and it reflects his amazing ability to not only produce brilliant music but to curate the right people to join him in the reimagining of it.

Music Made for Aliens - Remixes is a truly complete package that compliments the original LP perfectly!

We can’t write any more because we must get to the dance floor immediately!

Thank you Marc Romboy! And thank you Toto Chiavetta, Ivory Sunrise, Bawrut, Christopher Coe, Metodi Hristov, Pfirter, Avision, FLUG, An On Bast, Josh Wink and Will Clarke ! You are all legends!
