“It is an incredible honor to have one of the legends of electronic music create the first remix from the ELPIS album,” said Christen Lien. “The Juan Atkins remix of “The Escape” has a sound that is full of momentum and forward drive.  “When I listen I want to move my body and lean in towards life. I’m so inspired to have Juan’s creative genius as part of this project.”

This fall, Christen releases her debut album ELPIS. “The Escape” is the album’s crescendo and lead single due to the passion and energy Christen brings to her live performance of the track.

“Stepping outside of my comfort zone, I collaborated with Christen Lien to push
the boundaries of my creativity to discover more about my “outside the box”
thinking,” said Juan Atkins. “Working with an artist of her caliber with a deep
appreciation of sound was an unexpected source of inspiration. Christen should
definitely be on your radar!”
