'Higher (World Dance Edit)' rushes with the energy and euphoria of the massive early 90s mega-raves. Uplifting gospel vocals and M1 organ stabs ride an irresistible old school house rhythm track.
The first single from new Scottish DJ and producer ARKLEY's forthcoming 90s rave and acid house inspired 'Channel A EP', the self-produced track was given the final mastering treatment by Mike Marsh (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, The Shamen and Bizarre Inc).
It follows the summer release of his 'Origins EP' ("proper rave vibes" 5/5 - DMC Mag; "this is massive" - BBC Introducing), 'Rave '92 (Everybody Dancing)' (BBC Introducing "tip of the week") and his debut 'Music (Over & Over)', which was used on primetime BBC News to soundtrack scenes from Leeds Festival.
ARKLEY has received support from tastemaker DJs including the legend Judge Jules, multiple plays on BBC Introducing and Amazing Radio, over 200k combined streams for his three releases to date, as well as features in DMC World, Fortitude, Backseat Mafia, Snack, Mundane Magazine and EDM Lab. He has also produced guest mixes for Housesessions, Clubbing TV, Harmor On Mix, Dance Vibez and Trackwolves XL.
'Higher (World Dance Edit)' continues ARKLEY's irresistible reworking of classic 90s dance sounds to create vibrant modern records. "Fires your early 90s rave dreams to life" - Snack Magazine.
