Martin Garrix – Gold Skies
Following the release of electric, collaborative club single ‘Tremor’ alongside fellow dance music heavyweights Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike in June, Martin Garrix is back with his latest collaborative UK release, ‘Gold Skies’. Co-produced alongside esteemed contemporaries Sander van Doorn and Canadian duo DVBBS, who recently joined forces with Tinie Tempah to produce the incredible ‘Tsunami (Jump)’, it’s a track that stretches the trio’s combined compositional skills to the fullest.
Centered around a luscious, strung-out vocal from talented up-and-comer Aleesia, ‘Gold Skies’ builds with soft, hazy melodies that lend a mystical, enchanting quality to the track’s opening. As expertly crafted synth lines and club-ready bass begin to make their mark, the manner in which all four producers continue to harmonize ideas throughout is a testament to the sheer depth of talent that each possesses. Certainly not typical of Garrix’s previous works in particular, ‘Gold Skies’ represents a wonderfully innovative, fully absorbing new collaborative record.
Already heavily backed by BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Danny Howard and exclusively premiered online by leading music title ‘Rolling Stone’, ‘Gold Skies’ was one of the summer’s biggest seasonal anthems.
