‘Pressure Drop Remixed’ is a reimagined version of ‘Pressure Drop’, the debut album by the Kent-based violist, singer and experimental music composer Sophie Sirota issued in late 2025. Out today (10th September), it includes contributions from a number of musicians that Sirota has worked with across her career, including Youth (who has provided two remixes), 4hero, Shape Navigator and 3Head.
‘If I Wrote A Song Would You Like It? (Shape Navigator Remix)’ has also been made available as a release day single, a video edit for which has been created by @diz_qo and can be seen here:
Sirota and Shape Navigator aka Peter Coyte run the Whitstable-based monthly meet-up sessions Coastal Electronauts, as well as the record label of the same name. “Peter has given me considerable support and encouragement during my solo journey, and we have collaborated on several live projects,” explains Sirota. "He also mixed and mastered the original 'Pressure Drop’ album, so asking him to remix something from it was inevitable. The result is this beautiful track.”
In regard to the video, @diz_qo states: “I was seeking inspiration for it and found an old photo I’d taken years ago of what I believe to be some kind of radar equipment. It somehow resonated with the track - its sense of transmitting and receiving, of searching for a signal - and became the starting point for its visual language.”
Speaking about the remix album as a whole, Sirota says: “I’ve been fortunate to work with some incredible musicians during my career and it has been humbling to receive so many positive reactions to the idea of making it. What each contributor has sent back has resulted in a really eclectic variety of styles and sounds. I left each remix to their discretion and deliberately gave no direction or input.”
Acknowledging the growth of the underground electronic music scene, she adds: “I'm particularly pleased to have had a number of younger artists provide unique interpretations of my tracks, including people I have met through the vibrant EMOM scene. After all, this is what gave me the initial encouragement and support to create the original album.”
