Fcukers
× Angèle
“This is not a remix. This is a full-scale transformation — an artistic flip so immersive it borders on rebirth.”
There are remixes that polish a track, and there are remixes that break it open and put it back together as something else entirely. Fcukers’ reimagining of Angèle ft Justice’s “What You Want” — out now on Angèle VL Records / Because Music — is emphatically the latter. Vocalist Shanny’s newly layered presence doesn’t complement the original so much as it unsettles it, pulling the track into darker emotional territory while keeping its kinetic energy completely intact.
Two worlds are colliding here: Angèle, arguably the most important pop artist to emerge from Europe in the last decade, fresh off a Paris Olympics performance that broke Shazam records; and Fcukers, the New York-rooted alternative force who played over 100 live shows last year and count Beck, Billie Eilish, and Zane Lowe among their advocates. The result is one of the more interesting collision points in recent electronic pop — and a signal that both acts are very deliberately moving toward the same place.
Shanny’s newly added vocals don’t just complement the track — they destabilize it in the best way, adding a raw, emotional edge that reframes the song into something darker, deeper, and impossible to ignore.— Press Materials, Fcukers x Angèle
Angèle — born Angèle Van Laeken — built her career with rare creative control from the start. Her 2018 debut Brol sold over a million copies and became a generational touchstone across Belgium and France. “Balance ton quoi” became a feminist anthem for the French #MeToo movement. Her follow-up, Nonante-Cinq (2021), expanded her reach further — arena tours, major festival slots, and a refined pop language that felt both personal and culturally exact. The 2020 collaboration with Dua Lipa, “Fever”, introduced her to audiences well beyond the Francophone world.
Fcukers arrived in New York and accelerated fast. In three years they accumulated millions of streams, played Glastonbury, Primavera, Lollapalooza, and Coachella, opened arenas for LCD Soundsystem, Tame Impala, and Dom Dolla, landed BBC Radio 1’s Future Artist of the Month, and secured spots on both Spotify and Amazon’s Artists to Watch lists. Their debut album Ö, produced by Kenny Beats with contributions from 100 Gecs, is out now. Live, they are a different thing entirely — the press describes their shows as “a party fugue state,” and the 100+ dates they played last year suggest that’s not a metaphor.
Angèle’s airy vocals perfectly contrast the harder-edged production, resulting in a track that sucks you into its mysterious world.— Billboard, on the original “What You Want”
The original “What You Want” arrived in the glow of Angèle’s 2024 Paris Olympics performance, where she joined Phoenix and Kavinsky for an electric rendition of “Nightcall” that broke Shazam records and reminded everyone exactly where she stood in the cultural conversation. The track, with its LA HORDE-directed video — the same choreographic collective behind work for Rosalía, Madonna, Sam Smith, and Christine and the Queens — felt like a recalibration: Angèle at her most sonically bold, deliberately unpolished, and unambiguously present on the global stage.
Fcukers’ reimagining takes that foundation and rebuilds it from the inside out. The production doesn’t simply rework the arrangement — it recontextualizes the emotional logic of the original, bending the track’s mysterious energy into something more urgent and destabilized. Shanny’s vocal layer is the key variable: it introduces a rawness that the original’s polish deliberately withholds, and the tension between those two approaches is precisely where the remix earns its keep.
The result is genre-blurring in the truest sense — not as a marketing description but as an actual listening experience. This is electronic music that carries the emotional weight of alternative rock, pop songwriting with the textural ambition of club production, and a collaboration between two artists who clearly share more sonic DNA than their respective scenes might suggest.

What makes this pairing notable isn’t just the calibre of the artists involved — it’s what each brings to the other’s audience. Angèle’s world is one of precision, cultural weight, and a pop lineage that runs through feminist anthems, queer self-expression, and Coachella pride flag moments. Fcukers operate in a world of live-show urgency, underground credibility, and the kind of artist co-signs — Beck, Billie Eilish, Zane Lowe — that don’t happen by accident.
Put those two together on a track that already had Justice’s fingerprints on it, and you’re looking at something that sits at a genuinely interesting crossroads. Angèle isn’t coming — she’s here, and has been for a while. Fcukers are moving at a velocity that suggests they won’t be underground for much longer. “What You Want (Fcukers Remix)” is the sound of two trajectories briefly, productively, and loudly intersecting.
Stream “What You Want (Fcukers Remix)” now on Angèle VL Records / Because Music. The original music video, directed by LA HORDE, is available on YouTube. Fcukers’ debut album Ö, produced by Kenny Beats, is streaming now.
