Two house recordings under a compilation credit
VA is a compilation-style credit, not the name of the performers on these records. The entries preserved here point to It’s True, associated with Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Salem Al Fakir, and to Mambana’s Libre in its Axwell vocal mix.
It’s True
The original licensed Net’s Work programme credits It’s True to Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso versus Salem Al Fakir. Its 2007 release account identifies the Axwell and Ingrosso remix and names Salem Al Fakir as the songwriter.
That wording describes a particular song and production treatment. It does not turn all of the names into a permanent group, nor does the VA heading replace the actual recording credit.
Libre
The Mambana release presents Libre through several versions, including an Axwell radio edit, vocal mix and Essence Dub. The licensed Axtone programme makes those differences explicit.
The two entries offer different approaches to vocal house, connected here by an older compilation heading. Following the individual songs gives each recording its proper context while preserving the original archive page.
