Progressive house rising star Leena Punks (Anjunabeats) joins forces with techno up & comer Shay De Castro (Factory 93, mau5trap) on a superlative remix of Juno-winning Canadian electro pop singer Kiesza’s latest single.
With the original version garnering airplay at SiriusXM, KCRW-Santa Monica, C89-Seattle, BBC Radio 2, Music Choice and more, this re-rub injects evocative late night vibes into the song’s iconically infectious DNA. Kiesza recently performed with deadmau5 at the Hollywood Bowl and Brooklyn Mirage and played multiple Pride events in June.
From her iconic billion-streaming single ‘Hideaway’ and its unforgettable one-shot video to world-beating collaborations with Diplo, Skrillex, deadmau5, and Duran Duran, the four-time Juno-winning Kiesza has proven herself to be one of the most unique and zeitgeist-defining artists on the scene.
Kiesza’s latest music effortlessly navigates the crossroads of dance, house, and electro-pop with the folk influences that have long shaped her songwriting. This fusion of genres reflects her artistic evolution since her award-winning debut single, “Hideaway,” and its memorable one-shot video launched her career.
With its release in 2014, “Hideaway” highlighted Kiesza’s abilities as a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and accomplished dancer. The track originated from her hometown of Calgary, AB. It received extensive radio and video play and Top 20 chart placements across North America and Europe, three JUNO Awards, Gold, Platinum, and Double Platinum status in the US, UK, and Canada, respectively, and launched her debut album Sound of a Woman.
Following the success of her debut album, Kiesza faced her life’s “hardest work” – recovering from a traumatic brain injury sustained during a car accident in 2017. During her recovery, which remains ongoing, Kiesza could only hope her journey led her to the future she’d been striving for. That experience influenced her forthcoming work and her sophomore album, Crave (2020), which drew critical acclaim, followed by a collaboration with deadmau5 that surpassed over 12 million streams.
Kiesza embraces the extremes of her experiences and musical journey in her new music, bringing her exceptional talents to the forefront. As 2024 unfolds, it marks the next chapter in Kiesza’s journey, with fresh music, performances, and other creative endeavors on the horizon.
