Edan Rivers steps into the spotlight with a breathtaking Afro House reimagining of the 2012 classic ‘In My Mind’ by Ivan Gough and Feenixpawl, released on Sorted Sound. Transforming a timeless dance anthem into a hypnotic, groove-driven experience, Edan infuses the track with fresh rhythm, emotion and global flair.
The new version radiates warmth and depth. Earthy percussion and layered organic textures create a flowing groove that immediately pulls you in, while airy synths and rolling basslines add both drive and atmosphere. The familiar vocal hook remains front and centre, but Edan reshapes the production around it, creating a lush Afro-inspired soundscape that feels cinematic and immersive. It is both nostalgic and contemporary, connecting the emotional pull of the original with the soulful power of Afro House.
Drawing from his deep roots in African and Middle Eastern music, Edan brings a unique touch to every detail. Having performed from an early age alongside his father in a peace-focused Middle Eastern orchestra, he carries that same spirit of unity into his productions. His sound blends global influences from Egypt, Brazil, and Colombia with hypnotic basslines, introspective keys, and psychedelic grooves, building music that feels organic, spiritual, and profoundly rhythmic.
‘In My Mind’ showcases this vision beautifully. It is a track built for sunset sessions and late-night floors, where emotion meets movement and melody meets meaning. By reworking such a well-loved classic with care and originality, Edan proves his ability to honour the past while carving out his own sonic identity.
With its soulful energy and timeless appeal, this version of ‘In My Mind’ stands out as a standout moment in the modern Afro House landscape and a clear statement from an artist with a powerful global voice.
