A remix that bends scale, sound, and sense
Introduction
Setting: a DJ in a domed dream machine When Anyma opened his Las Vegas Sphere run, he showed exactly why a producer known for surreal stagecraft belongs in a building made for sensory excess. The room itself feels like a screen you can stand inside; Anyma treats it like a living organism. On December 28, he pulled FKA twigs into that organism for a live rendition of her single “Eusexua,” reframed as a towering, high-drama remix.
Twigs takes the stage—then fills the sky
Twigs’ entrance read intimate at first—voice dry and present, phrasing as precise as a blade. Then the Sphere bloomed. A colossal 3D render of her materialized across the dome, mirroring and magnifying her movements until the human and the hyperreal blurred. The contrast made the performance click: a single body holding the floor while a digital avatar swallowed the horizon.
What the remix does
Anyma’s rework leans into momentum. The kick is aerodynamic rather than bruising, leaving room for the air in twigs’ tone to drift and then tighten. Pads flicker in the mid-range like lens flare, while the drop trades brute force for lift—more weightless surge than hammer. Where the original finds euphoria in delicacy, this version rides the feeling into a widescreen ascent, tuned for a venue where verticality is part of the mix.
Vocals and visuals in conversation
Twigs sings with the poise of a dancer counting beats, slipping from breathy confessional into clean, bell-like lines. In the Sphere, those choices become architectural: syllables ping around the room, and the avatar behind her scales the emotion until it feels communal. The best moments are call-and-response between voice and vision—an eyelid blink on the dome aligned with a whispered phrase on stage, a swarm of light expanding as the melody opens.
Crowd energy and the Sphere effect
The Sphere’s spatial audio sharpens dynamics; even tiny vocal inflections cut through the low-end glide. Anyma’s pacing respects that space: long onramps into each section, then clean exits to let the cheers breathe. The crowd reaction rides the same shape—steady hum through the builds, a levitation spike when the drop lands, then a collective exhale as the visuals recede.
Surprise two: Ellie Goulding and a tease of “Hypnotized”
The night after twigs’ appearance, Anyma pivoted from spectral to pop-gleam, inviting Ellie Goulding to preview their forthcoming single “Hypnotized.” The Sphere answered with an enormous on-screen visage—Goulding’s head rendered at monument scale while disembodied hands traced its contours. It was cheeky and a bit uncanny, but it worked: the visual language said “anthem,” and the track teaser suggested exactly that.
Context for twigs and “Eusexua”
“Eusexua” has already earned serious year-end love for its delicate-techno tightrope—gossamer vocals suspended over pulse and shine. As the title track of twigs’ forthcoming album (due January 24 via Young), it signals a world where sweat-soaked rave catharsis and art-pop precision can coexist. Anyma’s remix doesn’t replace that world; it telescopes it, swapping warehouse condensation for domed cinema.
Why this pairing lands
- Aesthetic alignment: Anyma’s cyber-mythic visuals match twigs’ fascination with body, ritual, and metamorphosis.
- Venue fluency: Both artists build with negative space—crucial in a room that rewards scale and clarity over clutter.
- Emotional throughline: The remix preserves the song’s invitation to feel without labeling it, letting the Sphere carry the feeling into collective territory.
The residency as a flex
Across the run—December 27, 28, 29, 30 and New Year’s Eve, with additional January dates—Anyma treated guests as world-building elements rather than cameos. The supporting cast (Amelie Lens, CamelPhat, Charlotte de Witte, Sebastian Ingrosso, Tiësto, and more) reinforces a thesis: techno and pop can share a cathedral if you mind the acoustics and respect the silhouette.
Verdict
As a live moment, “Eusexua (Anyma Remix)” turns intimacy into infrastructure. Twigs’ voice stays human-scaled; the Sphere makes the feeling legible from every seat. Add the Goulding preview and you get a residency staking out two poles—hypnotic and hedonistic—and a host who can navigate both. It’s not just a remix performed in a fancy room; it’s a case study in how to compose for a new kind of stage.
