PROFF Aces Iconic Jakatta ‘American Dream’ Organic House Remix

Anjunadeep’s finest just released a highly anticipated remix of a golden melody from yesteryear.

It’s unreal that we can officially say this. But the remix is finally out. Following a hotly anticipated premiere on Anjunadeep 15 — and an even hotlierly-anticipated debut on his 2023 Anjunadeep Explorations Albania set —, PROFF‘s “Interpretation” of Jakatta‘s ‘American Dream‘ finally saw the light of day, offering a noble perspective on the iconic original track.

Jakatta, real name Dave Lee, produced the original version of ‘American Dream’ back in 2001, sampling two Thomas Newman pieces from the soundtrack of the 1999 film American Beauty — ‘American Beauty’ and ‘Dead Already’. The single went on to reach #3 in the Official UK Singles Charts and also reached the top 40 in Ireland, Spain, and Belgium, solidifying its status as a timeless Dance music classic.

Following the release, the second resurgence it had came with Joey Negro’s Club Mix, from 2002. After that, even kids got to know the melody, as a scene of the first Madagascar movie (2005) features that sample. This year, nearly a quarter of a century after the original track, PROFF’s Interpretation arrives with his signature blend of Organic House, adding a groovy drum beat while preserving the distinctive tuned percussion and beautiful Thomas Newman sample found in the original.

The result is a vibrant and danceable track that captures the essence of the original while adding a unique and contemporary twist. The track’s reflective breathing spaces provide a welcome contrast to the energetic dancefloor-ready sections, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the music’s emotional depth.
