TWERL flips the switch with Ekko & Sidetrack on “Under Bright Lights,” featuring emerging vocalist Indie Sky, which culminates into an effulgent drum & bass single that shines as part of the seventh season of releases for NIGHTMODE.
Precisely one month in the aftermath of his brain-shattering cyberpunk release “Break My Mind” alongside Team EZY, the genre-bending producer TWERL is taking a second spin on the imprint with an almost immediate follow-up appearance.
The collab is another celebration of untouchable talent from the Australian bass scene, this time teaming up with a set of siblings that has been kicking up a proper stink in the drum & bass lane over the years. Joined by the brotherly duo Ekko & Sidetrack, as well as fledgling vocalist Indy Skies, this special union materializes into an epic festival anthem that will keep the masses wrapped around its euphoric splendor for years on end.
“Under Bright Lights” embodies the magic of finding one’s true self amidst the warm glow of the dancefloor. The alt-pop singer-songwriter from Auckland, Indy Skies, puts her knack for intimate lyrics on full display with an evocative vocal delivery that lends itself beautifully to the emotional grandeur of liquid D&B.
The euphoric energy of her heartfelt message sends shivers down the spine through sonorous vocal tones that speak to the luminous experience of seeing the proverbial stage lights bounce off a sea of ecstatic faces. A jubilant and glistening groove provides further context where words cannot reach. It starts out with a half-time sparkle before the track flashes the full force of its wholesome drive.
It’s an awe-inducing single that symbolizes those irreplaceable moments spent together at the rave. And at the end of the day, many a festiva-lgoer will be sure to sign on the dotted line right next to where the household names TWERL and Ekko & Sidetrack shared their regards with this poetic love letter.
“We wanted to create a song that allows you to escape—to come alive under the bright lights of the rave.”–TWERL
