Vocalist Nathalie Schäfer and producer Gyso Hilger have been friends for a long time, affiliated by their love for beautiful music. In 2001 the idea came up to write and produce own songs. After having experimented in the studio for the next couple of months loads of ideas and preferences emerged and became more precise. The electro club jazz duo Nekta is born.

After the huge success of Nekta´s last single release „Guess who“ from the debut album „Water the flowers“, which was featured in three different US TVseries in the last 12 month (Gossip Girl/WARNER / Las Vegas/NBC and Samantha Who/ABC ), Nekta is back with „Here´s Us“, the first single release from their second album „Storybook“ due to be released in autumn this year. With a duration of 2:49 minutes and a swing feeling of the 30-ties, combined with the beats of today, it could work well in every jukebox out there.

For the first time Valique from Moscow did a Remix for Nekta. His two version turns out to be more dance floor compatible then the original. While the main mix adds some nostalgic vinyl scratches at the beginning of the tune and builds up with uplifting broken beats for the floor, the „dark jazz dub“ insert the 4/4 bass drum and reduces the vocals. Valique from Moscow has started his musical career in mid 90s as an arranger and musician in several electronic live projects.

The second remixer on this release is ISKRADISCO!. An open musical community based in Moscow as well.
