Solomun breathes new life into Change’s classic with ‘Love Recycled 4’: Listen

With Love Recycled 4, Solomun brings a defining 1980s groove into the present. The series, which began in 2011 as a personal exploration of past club staples, has now become a label in its own right—one that champions respectful reinterpretation over nostalgia. This fourth chapter sees him revisiting Change’s Angel In My Pocket, a sultry disco number transformed through patience, care and craftsmanship.

Rather than leaning on the track’s original scaffolding, Solomun begins by stripping it back. He preserves the emotive vocal line and rolling bass, then rebuilds around them using hand-played congas, crisp electronic kicks, and rim shots inspired by Balearic traditions. Transitioning between old and new, he lets lush string flourishes glide over modern pads while reshaping the harmonic flow with added chord turns and melodic counterpoints.

This approach gives the song a double life. It feels just as natural basking in daytime sun as it does pulsing through after-hours sets. Fans of the original will still hear the seductive swing that made it a dance floor fixture, but Solomun injects subtle rhythmic shifts and emotional peaks that carry his unmistakable mark.

Beyond the music, the Love Recycled ethos remains clear. Each track is treated not as a template to tweak, but as a living archive—dissected, honored, and renewed. As the label grows, other artists will follow Solomun’s lead, uncovering hidden gems and reworking them with genuine spirit. Stream the track on Spotify below or via your preferred platform here.
