With “Begin Again”, Dennis Sheperd and Ayandra already delivered an emotionally rich original that resonated deeply within the melodic electronic scene. Now, Jerome Isma-Ae steps in to reinterpret the track—and the result is a refined, late-night weapon that seamlessly bridges emotional storytelling with club-driven sophistication.
Released on A Tribute To Life, this remix shifts the track firmly into Melodic House & Techno territory at 126 bpm, wrapping Ayandra’s haunting vocal in a deeper, more hypnotic framework. Where the original leans into uplifting trance sensibilities, Jerome Isma-Ae injects a darker pulse, characterized by rolling basslines, crisp percussion, and a subtle yet powerful sense of progression.
Jerome’s signature touch—well-known from his releases on labels like Anjunadeep and Armada—shines through in the arrangement. The remix builds patiently, allowing the vocal to breathe before introducing layered synth textures that gradually elevate the energy. The drop doesn’t explode—it unfolds, making it perfectly suited for extended DJ sets and immersive dancefloor moments.
Dennis Sheperd, a long-standing figure in the global trance scene and known for his consistent output on labels such as A State Of Trance and his own imprint A Tribute To Life, continues to showcase his versatility with projects like this. Teaming up with Ayandra, whose ethereal vocal delivery adds emotional depth, the original track already stood out—this remix expands its reach into a broader melodic landscape.
Jerome Isma-Ae, on the other hand, has built a reputation for crafting timeless, groove-driven productions that sit comfortably between progressive house and melodic techno. His ability to maintain emotional integrity while enhancing club appeal is exactly what makes this remix so effective.
The feedback across social media channels reflects this perfectly: fans praise the remix for its deeper, more mature vibe while still preserving the soul of the original. It’s a track that doesn’t scream for attention—but quietly commands it.
