Philip La Rosa’s Paradise [The Remixes] takes his sun-soaked love song to new heights, reimagining the track in six unique ways that each bring a fresh energy and emotional depth to the original. This remix collection is more than just an exploration of different sonic landscapes—it’s a celebration of how music can transform, evolve, and take on new life in unexpected ways. Whether stripped back to its most vulnerable form or reshaped into an electrifying dance anthem, Paradise proves to be a track that transcends genre and style.

At the heart of the collection is an intimate piano version, where La Rosa’s voice takes centre stage, accompanied by nothing but delicate keys. Stripped of production flourishes, this version reveals the raw emotion of the lyrics, bringing a deeply personal and vulnerable quality to the song. Every note feels intentional, every word filled with meaning, making it a version that speaks directly to the soul. This rendition reminds listeners that, at its core, Paradise is a love song about connection, escape, and finding home in another person.

From there, the EP dives into high-energy territory, beginning with an ’80s-inspired remix by Rob Agostini. This version injects nostalgic synth textures, punchy drum machines, and shimmering melodies that transport Paradise into a neon-lit dreamscape. Agostini’s remix brings a vibrant, retro feel, paying homage to the golden era of synth-pop while keeping La Rosa’s heartfelt vocals at the forefront. The reimagined arrangement transforms the song into something cinematic, as if it belongs on the soundtrack of a classic coming-of-age film.

One of the most exciting remixes comes from Jay Johns, one-half of The Banton Brothers, who helped produce La Rosa’s earlier work. Johns’ take on Paradise blends modern electronic elements with subtle organic instrumentation, creating a remix that is both atmospheric and uplifting. His production plays with dynamic layering, allowing different textures to shine through while keeping the spirit of the original alive. It’s a version that strikes the perfect balance between danceable and emotionally resonant, maintaining the warmth and sincerity of the song while enhancing its rhythmic drive.

The house remix by WasteLand takes Paradise straight to the dancefloor, injecting pulsating basslines, crisp percussion, and euphoric buildups. This version reimagines the track as a festival-ready anthem, designed to make bodies move while still retaining the emotional essence of La Rosa’s original vocal performance. WasteLand’s signature style shines through, elevating Paradise into an uplifting, high-energy experience that feels just as at home in a club as it does on a summer road trip.

Adding another international touch to the collection, LA producer Bobby Marks brings his own flavour to Paradise, delivering a remix that blends shimmering electronic production with subtle R&B influences. Marks’ version introduces a more sensual groove, playing with vocal effects and smooth transitions that give the song a laid-back yet immersive feel. His remix enhances the track’s romantic undertones, making it the perfect soundtrack for late-night drives or intimate moments.

Finally, the original producer, Nick Kandler, and his colleagues at Stonewood Studios in LA present their own reimagining of Paradise, bringing it full circle. This version stays true to the essence of the original but expands on its lush soundscape with refined production choices, subtle electronic flourishes, and a polished, radio-ready finish. It serves as both a tribute to the initial vision of the song and a fresh perspective on how Paradise can evolve.

Together, these six remixes create a rich and diverse listening experience, proving the versatility of Paradise and the strength of La Rosa’s songwriting. Whether in its most stripped-back form or transformed into a dance anthem, Paradise [The Remixes] offers something for every listener—celebrating love, nostalgia, and the joy of music’s endless possibilities.
