CamelPhat deliver a radiant track for a feel good slice of summer with ‘Sunshine‘. The Grammy-nominated duo is known for their atmospheric and deeply emotional take on house and melodic techno. But now, they have just what we need as the heat kicks in. We see its release via their own imprint, When Stars Align. This new release is a testament to their consistent ability to craft tracks that resonate on both the dancefloor and your soul.
‘Sunshine’ envelops you in a warm, inviting embrace from the very first beat. Firstly, it opens with a subtle yet compelling groove, its soundscape crafted meticulously that feels expansive and intimate. Then, it slowly builds layers of shimmering synths and delicate percussive elements. Next, the evocative melody is not overtly complex but possesses a captivating, almost nostalgic quality that weaves itself through the track. What’s more, it creates a sense of uplift, introspection, and relaxation. The signature CamelPhat bassline kicks in, a deep, resonant throb that anchors the soaring melodies and adds that undeniable club-ready pulse. It’s not about brute force, but rather a powerful, driving energy that keeps your head nodding and your feet moving. The production is pristine, allowing every element to breathe and contribute to the track’s rich tapestry.
Did you know that this is the first time they used AI to vocal an original piece of music and writing? What do you guys think of it? Now, previous works like ‘Cola‘ and ‘Breathe‘ might have been more immediate club bangers. But ‘Sunshine’ leans into the more melodic and progressive side. We’ve seen this evolution of their sound, like on their recent album Spiritual Milk. Nevertheless, CamelPhat has a very busy year ahead, especially with their ongoing Pacha Ibiza residency and several major festival appearances. Catch them at Loveland Festival, Creamfields, Voodoo Village, SWG3 in Glasgow, Klein Phönix in Istanbul, and The Brooklyn Mirage in New York. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch them live and enjoy their tracks.
