In May of 2024, Canadian Alt Rock Group MENEW teamed up with DJ Dzeko for their latest single ‘Never Us’. The pop-leaning dance record was a catchy and melodic EDM track the leaned more in the pop lane, not dissimilar from some of Dzeko’s most notable works. The record performed well at Dance radio in the US, gaining some momentum and breaking on to the dance and mix-showairplay chart during the summer.
In August, the group came back with an even more EDM leaning version of the record alongside the DJ, BYOR. This remix was a hard hitting, fast paced dance beat that brought the band into a completely different space. This record did not have that same pop flare, instead this remix shined as a beacon of the EDM genre, with its driving drums and synth melodies.
