The Bristol-Born Duo Lean Further Into 90s House Swagger With A Remix Built For Late Nights

I Want It (DJ Juno Mix)
approaches pop as both music and mise-en-scène: bright hooks, club rhythms, theatrical presentation, and just enough mischief to keep the machinery visible. On I Want It (DJ Juno Mix)
, the duo strip that sensibility down to its most physical elements, recasting the original with a tighter electronic frame and a stronger pull toward the club without losing the melody at its centre.
The remix arrives with a sense of momentum sharpened by the duo’s live work, including a Main Stage appearance at Nowadaze Festival. Since Eerste, Junonuno have built around the friction between nostalgia and invention, drawing on the snap and immediacy of ’90s house while treating its vocabulary as material rather than blueprint. DJ Juno’s production is precise without becoming sterile, locking bass, percussion, and synthesizers into an arrangement that feels carefully engineered but still playful. Above it, Nuno’s vocal provides the human counterweight, cool and direct against the track’s increasingly kinetic backdrop.
That balance becomes the defining feature of the mix. I Want It
already carries desire in its title, but here the phrase takes on something more insistent. The bassline keeps pressing forward while the rhythm remains taut and uncluttered, leaving flashes of synth to appear around the vocal like reflected light. Junonuno resist stuffing every corner of the mix. Instead, the production uses space as part of its momentum, allowing the groove to establish itself before small shifts in texture and intensity begin tightening the frame.
There is a knowingly retro streak to all of this, but Junonuno never seem interested in simple revivalism. The references are recognisable — house rhythms, pop immediacy, the heightened colour of club culture — yet they are filtered through a project that treats character and presentation as part of the composition. What could easily become pastiche instead feels deliberately stylised, a world in which sincerity and exaggeration are allowed to occupy the same room.
That sensibility extends to the stage. With DJ Juno behind the decks, Nuno at the front, and an expanded live crew adding scale and movement, Junonuno have developed a format that sits somewhere between DJ set, pop performance, and theatrical happening. The humour is part of the appeal, but it doesn’t disguise the craft underneath. Hooks are placed carefully, rhythmic changes arrive with purpose, and the spectacle grows from the music rather than being pasted onto it.
I Want It (DJ Juno Mix)
captures that duality neatly. It can operate as a direct, body-led club track, but there is enough personality in its details to keep it from disappearing into function. Junonuno take familiar materials — bass, beat, hook, flash — and arrange them into something knowingly artificial yet strangely personable. The result feels like their world in miniature: polished, playful, slightly unreal, and built with a grin that never gets in the way of the groove.
