#30 Feat. Staff Picks in Indie Dance

Imagine a trip through the Alps guided by elegant dance music. Now let Nayan Soukie - better known as Amount - be your tour guide. His warmly awaited return to the Frank Music label features three brand-new dance tracks. Alpe Adria as a starter is modern House Music all the way, yet with a very subtle twist. The buildup is guided by an appealing voice that never breaks through but is always present. Then the piano emerges in the break, and suddenly youve reached the summit - the horizon wide open, skies bright and endless. Palmanova follows in the same path. The pads will guide you like a fluffy breeze to the next destination. Villach, however, takes things up and comes across as even a little trance-tinged. Hiking - or even better - dancing with Amount feels like floating on a cloud. Now make yourself comfortable.

Guess who just landed on the label radar? Thats right - make some noise for Olivier DB! Beaming in straight from sunny San Diego, this sonic wizard drops a triple-threat EP just in time to sizzle your summer. Rhythm & Sound brings the heat: were talking the no-nonsense Electro punch of The Sound, the cheeky bounce of 2D Rhythm, and the full-throttle force of Resist This (go ahead, try not to. Spoiler: you will). And just when you thought it couldnt get deeper, label bossman Johannes Albert jumps in with a club mix that slaps harder than SPF 50. Plug in, bliss out. Olivier DBs dancefloor magic is officially locked in. Trust us, hes not going anywhere.
