Bastille's new video to fan-favourite 'Glory' was released today. Following a road trip across Texas, it tells the story of a relationship and the memories that go with it. Dan says of the video: “The song is about friendship and those woozy middle-of-the-night chats that drunkenly seem so important at the time. It’s my favourite track on “Wild World”, and we wanted the video to be a celebration of storytelling, relationships, and how two people can remember things completely differently.” The track was produced by Mark Crew with Dan Smith. Take a look HERE.
Billon's new track, Snake Song, dropped today on TMTR / Ultra. The track combines one of Billon's distinctive deep house bass lines with an ear worm of a vocal delivered by Takura. Magnetic Mag said: ""Snake Song" is a punchy slice of deep house that sizzles with sensual energy, and those infectious vocals really stick in the memory after just one listen". Check it out HERE.
Billon has delivered a scorching remix of Tinie Tempah and Tinashé's "Text From Your Ex". Staying faithful to the original structure of the song, Billon has turned it in to a weighty peak-time dance floor anthem. Check it out HERE.
