It’s been a month since RÜFÜS DU SOL released the first volume of Inhale/Exhale Remixed. Now, the Australian trio is back with Volume 2. This is a sprawling 22-track collection that deepens the project’s emotional and rhythmic reach. The latest volume showcases a renewed focus on rhythm and texture.
Out now via Rose Avenue / Reprise Records, this second volume is both more expansive and more adventurous. It brings together established names like Vintage Culture, Jimi Jules, Adam Ten & Mita Gami, and Mind Against. Alongside some of the most promising talents from across continents. This new volume delivers a remix experience that travels far from the original album’s central blueprint. Yet, it doesn’t lose its soul.
What Inhale/Exhale Remixed Vol. 2 Sounds Like
This second volume pulls the original album into more experimental corners. Inhale/Exhale Remixed Vol. 2 deepens the club connection of the original album, expanding into a spectrum of melodic techno and house-driven reinterpretations. The tone is consistently uplifting, warm, and emotionally resonant, never drifts into pop or commercial territory. This is music designed for sunset stages, beach sets, and late-night dance floors, all grounded in a strong underground identity.
Vintage Culture‘s remix of “Lately” that’s punchy and precise—tailor-made for festival crowds but polished with a tasteful melodic edge. Deer Jade’s “Breathe” channels soft percussive movement and airy synths, giving the original a more expansive, open-air feel. On “Edge of the Earth,” LP Giobbi brings a steady, rolling groove with a touch of deep house sophistication. Her remix fits naturally into sunrise sessions or breezy afternoon sets.
Jimi Jules strips down “Music is Better” to a rhythm-forward framework, layering subtle textures with club-conscious pacing. Tracks like Maga’s “The Life” and Chambord’s “Levitating” keep things fluid—each remix rooted in groove, accented by bright leads and warm builds.
Mind Against & Tharat’s remix of “Pressure” is one of the most expansive tracks on the album—pulling from cinematic techno influences, it delivers hypnotic progression and melodic clarity, perfect for open-air dancefloors. Eagles & Butterflies stretches “New York” into a sweeping, synth-laced journey, while WEVAL’s rework of “Standing at the Gates” leans into hazy atmospherics with a steady rhythmic core.
Even RÜFÜS DU SOL’s own edit of “Music is Better” feels like a distillation for Inhale/Exhale of their current live energy—tight, rhythmic, and emotionally clean. It’s a reminder that the band remains as connected to the dance floor as to songwriting.
Rose Avenue and the Label’s Artist-Driven Curation
Founded by the trio in 2018, Rose Avenue Records was born from a desire to spotlight music that felt emotionally rich, thoughtful, and club-ready. Those sounds that echoed the band’s own ethos. Named after the Venice Beach street where the group once shared a home, the label has grown into a platform that supports both emerging artists and established producers.
Over the years, Rose Avenue has become an imprint for music that values emotive textures, rhythmic subtlety, and deep connection with dance floors. The label’s catalog includes releases from artists like, Colyn, Like Mike, Anyma, Cassian, Kimonos, and Dorian Craft. Some of whom contribute standout remixes on Volume 2.
With each release, Rose Avenue reinforces the idea that music can be both immersive and intentional. It’s not about having drops after drops in any given track —it’s about the journey through which listeners feel more connected. Whether it’s via warm-up set soundscapes, late-night closers, or tightly wound festival weapons, the label’s output reflects a commitment to atmosphere, groove, and storytelling through sound.
With RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Inhale/Exhale Remixed Vol. 2 releasing across all platforms, the trio has truly have crafted a remix album that’s both a celebration of their original work and a step forward.
