DeepFaith Let Breakbot Touch the Heart of ‘Y&I’ and It Comes Back Glowing

DeepFaith have never treated songs as finished objects. For them, a track is a living thing that keeps mutating, picking up new light depending on who touches it. With the Breakbot Dreamix of Y&I, that philosophy turns into something almost romantic. This is less remix culture, more emotional archaeology.

The original Y&I already carried weight. Byron Spencer and Danial Stricker built it around intimate vocals and baroque-leaning chords that felt cinematic but fragile, like a love letter written in neon. It was a track about closeness that didn’t beg for attention; it pulled you inward. Early support from Rolling Stone, triple j, and tastemakers across Europe wasn’t just hype. It was recognition that DeepFaith operates in a lane where pop can be maximalist and deeply personal at the same time.

Enter Breakbot, a figure synonymous with French house elegance. Instead of overpowering the song, he treats it like glass. His Dreamix wraps the vocals in warm analog glow, adding a sunlit bounce that feels effortless but precise. The bassline glides rather than hits. Synths shimmer like late afternoon reflections off city windows. You can picture it immediately: rooftop speakers at sunset, strangers leaning into each other, the air thick with that quiet electricity before night fully arrives.

What makes this version land is restraint. Breakbot doesn’t flatten the emotion into club polish. He amplifies the tenderness. The chorus blooms wider, the groove breathes, and the song’s core vulnerability becomes something communal. It’s no longer just a private confession. It’s a shared memory waiting to happen.

DeepFaith’s whole identity thrives on contrast. Their world is cinematic yet chaotic, intimate yet explosive, and this Dreamix slots perfectly into that tension. It proves that reinvention isn’t a marketing move for them. It’s the engine. Each collaborator becomes a new lens, refracting the same emotional center in different colors.

Y&I – Breakbot Dreamix feels like a refined chapter in an ongoing story about connection, art, and trust between creators. It’s a reminder that dance music at its best isn’t escapism. It’s an emotional translation. And DeepFaith keeps finding new dialects.

“Y&I” has now lived multiple versions. At what point do you know a song is strong enough to be reimagined instead of left alone?

Daniel: When we were writing this song, originally we wanted it to sound like ‘E-Type’, which is a 90s euro dance group, kinda like Ace Of Bass. I think you know it’s strong when you can play it on a piano or an acoustic guitar, and it sounds just as good, if not better.

Byron: Why not reimagine things, dream up other variations, and collaborate with fabulous people? It’s like karaoke.

Breakbot’s Dreamix shifts the emotional temperature of the track without losing its core. What surprised you most about hearing your song through his lens?

Byron: I loved the tropical chill element. To me, it’s a bit more tropical sunset with a coconut and a slow dance while crying and giggling.

Daniel: How great Breakbot is : ) I mean it wasn’t really a surprise.. but he nailed the French Touch.

Your project thrives on contrast: cinematic versus chaotic, intimate versus maximalist. How intentional is that tension when you are creating?

Byron: We are both erratic, contrasting human beings. I think it’s just a natural thing that comes out through the work.

Collaboration seems central to DeepFaith, not just musically but visually and conceptually. How do you decide who enters your creative orbit?

Byron: We reach out to people we admire, love, and know, and hope they are open to entering our universe!

With this remix pushing “Y&I” into a more club-forward space, how do you see DeepFaith evolving next: deeper into dance culture, or further blurring genres entirely?

Byron: It's blurry as fuck.
