New Zealand’s rising electronic music talent Mikeyy delivers an empowering anthem with his latest single, “lift,” out January 17 on NIGHTMODE. This house-driven track radiates positivity and determination, channeling Mikeyy’s signature blend of emotional depth, high-energy production, and heartfelt vocal work.
Furthering his ability to shapeshift, “lift” is a vibrant entry into the stutter house realm, weaving motivational lyrics with dynamic orchestral flourishes, lofty piano melodies, and warm synth textures. Mikeyy’s own topline vocals drive the track’s poignant message of resilience and self-love, complemented by the playful sounds of children’s laughter and soaring builds that explode into energetic drops. The result is a motivational burst of sound, designed to inspire listeners at home, on the dancefloor, or at massive festival stages.
The single arrives as the follow-up to Mikeyy’s NIGHTMODE debut, “Breathe,” the title track from his forthcoming EP of the same title. Garnering praise from outlets such as Music on the Rox and Find Your Sounds, “Breathe” marked a defining moment in Mikeyy’s career, securing his place as a compelling voice in the house music scene.
Mikeyy’s December 2024 festival run showcased his growing impact, featuring electrifying performances at New Zealand’s biggest events, including Rhythm and Vines, Rolling Meadows, and a hometown New Year’s Eve headliner slot. Sharing stages with acts like RL Grime, Meduza, and Wiz Khalifa, Mikeyy captivated audiences with his genre-blending sets, cementing his reputation as a dynamic performer with a knack for creating unforgettable live moments.
As Mikeyy gears up for the release of his ‘Breathe’ EP later this year, “lift” sets the tone for a landmark moment in his ascent within the electronic music world. With his distinct voice, genre-spanning artistry, and vibrant energy, Mikeyy is solidifying his place among the next generation of house music innovators.
“‘lift’ encapsulates the prettiness combined with the high energy of the ‘Breathe’ EP. To anyone listening at home, on the dancefloor or at a big festival, I hope it moves you. You are always never alone..” –Mikeyy
