Widely regarded as one of THE finest moments on Invol2ver, Sasha’s eagerly anticipated ‘Lowlife’ gets its official release alongside unreleased parent ‘Highlife’…

The beauty of a project like Invol2ver is the end result doesn’t feature a complete snapshot of the creative process; that may sound like a contradiction in terms, but Sasha’s Adam Parker collaboration is the perfect example.

Whilst ‘Lowlife’ needs little introduction following it’s inclusion on the famed comp’, dance fans may be surprised to learn it’s actually the sibling of an original production from West London singer / songwriter Adam Parker.

The collaboration itself came about in the purest sense, following a tape of ‘Highlife’ being handed to Sasha through a mutual friend. The result was the Invol2ver remix, but as we now know, it never made its way to the final tracklist…

“Even though we’d completed the remix, we were still playing round with the vocal in the studio,” explains Sasha, “We soon realised samples of it married to an original instrumental production Barry, Duncan, Charlie and I had been developing. Adam’s vocal completed the track perfectly.”

As ‘Highlife’ didn’t make the final cut, the COMA collective all agreed a suitable credit was required to acknowledge its heritage and the aptly named ‘Lowlife’ was born as Sasha elaborates:

“It was kind of sad, having to choose between the two come the final selection for the comp’, so it was only right we gave a nod to the vocal’s source in the title. Although tough at the time, I guess if we hadn’t gone through that we wouldn’t be in the position to present them together – a totally exclusive, unheard remix and Adam’s original.”

Completing the package is Adam Parker’s original version that kick-started it all, a haunting piece of pop-electronica that many dance fans will be interested in, both as a fantastic listening piece and reference.

Sasha vs Adam Parker – The Highlife EP will be available from 11th May 2009 via all good digital sites.
