A New Refraction Through the 3Step Lens
South African DJ-producer DESIREE’s label MMiNO has released a powerful new reinterpretation of her track “Intersexy”, this time reimagined by boundary-pushing Johannesburg artist Thakzin. Known for his trailblazing 3Step sound, Thakzin bends light and rhythm into jazzy new shapes, elevating the track beyond its original percussive pulse.
A Fusion Beyond Borders
Thakzin’s remix blends Amapiano, Afro House, and Deep House into an off-kilter yet nimble groove, drawing from DESIREE’s sweeping original while injecting his unique melodic bounce. The result is a track that’s as euphoric as it is introspective—delivering fresh textures without relying on conventional structure.
A Rising Force on the Global Stage
Arriving at a time when Thakzin is being championed by international icons like Keinemusik, Black Coffee, and Laurent Garnier, the remix follows his acclaimed releases such as “The Magnificent Dance”, and remixes of “Yes God” and “Horns In The Sun.” His refusal to conform underscores his role as a restless innovator in the South African electronic scene.
Shared Roots, Shared Vision
“I have huge respect for DESIREE as a genuine artist and personality,”
says Thakzin.
“We both come from Ivory Park, and I wanted to honor that. The piano line in Intersexy moved me immediately—I knew I had to build around it and let it breathe.”
Artistic Chemistry That Transforms Sound
The “Intersexy (Thakzin Remix)” captures what happens when two like-minded artists speak through sound—disassembling familiar forms to reveal new sonic colors. It’s a reminder of music’s power to reimagine and reshape experience.
MMiNO’s Mission: Amplifying African Electronic Music
For MMiNO, the remix reinforces the label’s mission to spotlight African electronic artists through daring collaborations. Since its launch in 2023, MMiNO has combined cutting-edge curation with social impact, channeling proceeds to Intersex South Africa.
