Ready for the Weekend

High-gloss 2009 club anthems. A neon-lit bridge between indie-sleaze quirk and the massive, stadium-sized EDM that would soon conquer the world.

Polished transition

Chrome-plated production and massive, festival-ready synth arrangements signal a major scale shift, trading the cheap charm of the bedroom for the high-definition sheen of the club. The music thrives on a relentless optimism, pairing side-chained basslines that pump in time with the kick drum against a flat, unadorned vocal delivery that grounds the euphoric rush. It is a bright, loud, and unashamedly digital record that captures the transition from indie-dance grit to modern dance-pop.

Moments Worth Waiting For

06I’m Not Alone (radio edit)The euphoric synth progression on 'I’m Not Alone (radio edit)' shifts from a melancholic acoustic guitar intro into a massive, side-chained club drop.

The artist fabricated a story about losing his laptop at Heathrow Terminal 5 to buy more time from his label to finish the record.
