Artist: ARKLEY
Release: SO GOOD
Label: SPIRIT OF RAVE
Date: 13 JANUARY 2023
After the melodic rush of his last single, 'Higher (World Dance Edit)', ARKLEY takes us back to grubby warehouse raves and early acid house with 'So Good'. The high-energy track builds around a massive synth organ riff, a euphoric gospel vocal sample and a pounding rhythm section.
The second single from new Scottish DJ and producer ARKLEY's forthcoming 90s dance 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, playlisting on Apple Music's New In Dance, 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, Dance Nation Radio and Trackwolves XL.
'So Good' continues ARKLEY's unique reworking of classic 90s dance sounds to create vibrant modern records. "Fires your early 90s rave dreams to life" - Snack Magazine.
