Now, Pause… (Tour-Maubourg Remix) by Alexander IV feat. Ursula Rucker
French producer Tour-Maubourg reimagines Now, Pause… featuring Ursula Rucker, one of the most reflective moments on Alexander IV's recent album Alchemist.
Following the release of his acclaimed debut album "Alchemist," Dutch producer and multi-instrumentalist Alexander IV returns with a fresh interpretation of one of the record's standout tracks. For the first official remix from the album, French producer Tour-Maubourg lends his unmistakable touch to "Now, Pause…," transforming the meditative original into a warm, groove-led journey while preserving the emotional weight of Ursula Rucker's timeless spoken- word performance.
Originally conceived as a moment of reflection amidst the album's rich blend of jazz, soul and hip-hop influences, "Now, Pause…" invited listeners to slow down and reconnect. Tour-Maubourg approaches the track with characteristic finesse, wrapping Rucker's voice in lush chords, rolling basslines and dusty house rhythms inspired by jazz, broken beat and classic French touch.
The collaboration feels like a natural meeting point between two artists who share a deep appreciation for groove, musicianship and timeless production. While Alexander IV's original leaned into cinematic introspection, Tour-Maubourg gently shifts the focus towards the dancefloor without sacrificing the track's contemplative spirit.
Known for releases on labels including Pont Neuf Records and collaborations that effortlessly bridge jazz, house and broken beat, Tour-Maubourg has become one of the most exciting voices in France's new generation of electronic producers. His reinterpretation of "Now, Pause…" continues that trajectory, delivering a remix equally suited for headphones, sunset sets and late-night dancefloors.
With "Alchemist," Alexander IV established a musical world built on jazz-infused beats, soulful collaborations and meticulous production. The Tour-Maubourg Remix opens a new chapter for the project, one where introspection meets movement, and one of the album's most powerful messages finds new life through rhythm.
