Enrico Rosica told me that “No More” began as a song with a different tone, then changed after a conversation with Ivye and the arrival of her vocal. That detail stayed with me because it says something specific about the collaboration: the singer helped shape where the record went.
Today, September 25, Rosica and Timo Maas release “No More” featuring Ivye on Magnetic Magazine Recordings, with a Vocal Mix and an Enrico Rosica Dub Mix available now. It is the label’s 76th signing, and you can hear the release on Beatport.
Rosica is based in Rimini, and the collaboration took shape there after producer Francesco Mami connected him with Maas. Ivye, whose name is Francesca Pianini Mazzucchetti, also comes from the area, while local photographer Filippo Zaghini created the cover image.
Those connections give this release a specific place of origin, even as it brings a German producer with decades of international club history into the project. Beatport lists the record as progressive house, and its two available versions let listeners hear what changes when Rosica places Ivye’s vocal at the center.
Two Mixes, With Another Version Coming
The Vocal Mix puts Ivye’s performance in the foreground.
Her lyrics address appearances, screens, and the pressure to be seen, which gives the song a subject beyond its place in a DJ set. Rosica told me that hearing her voice changed the tone of the production; the Vocal Mix is the finished result of that decision.
If you heard the Dub Mix premiere in my interview, the full vocal gives you another way to hear the material.
The Enrico Rosica Dub Mix offers a second route into the same record, with less emphasis on the lyric and more room for the instrumental material. Rosica described his approach to alternate versions as keeping recurring sounds and a connection between them, even when each mix serves a different purpose. That gives DJs an option when a full vocal would interrupt the direction of a set.
A third version, the Timo Maas Riviera Mix, is scheduled for release on October 9.
DJs Have Already Played “No More”
The record appeared in two published mix tracklists ahead of today’s release.
Mike van Brugge included the Enrico Rosica Dub Mix in Flipside Radio episode 50, published September 17; its tracklist places the record between selections by Sebastian Mullaert and Alfonso Muchacho. On September 22, Rob Zile included a version listed as the “Timo Maas Mix” in his Brain Food Radio show on Kiss FM Australia. His posted tracklist puts it fifth in the first part of the program.
The show uses a different mix title from the Riviera Mix announced for October, so I would keep the tracklist’s wording when referring to that play.
The label’s promo report also shows responses from Black Coffee and Chris Fortier and a download of Rosica’s dub by Hernán Cattáneo.
