Monday Choon: Marshmello, ILLENIUM - Close My Eyes (Feat. SACHA)

 

Marshmello is back with “Close My Eyes”, teaming up with Illenium and Sacha for a track that blends emotional electronic production with a more atmospheric, melodic sound. The production carries that familiar Marshmello energy but is given an added depth through Illenium’s cinematic style, with layered synths, subtle drops and a polished build that keeps the track moving without becoming overly aggressive. Sacha’s vocals are the real standout for me, bringing an emotional and almost haunting quality to the track that fits perfectly with the production. It’s one of those songs that feels equally at home on a late-night drive or with the volume turned up on a big sound system.

Monday Choon: ILLENIUM, Jon Bellion - Good Things Fall Apart (Tiësto's Big Room Remix)

Tiesto has been mulling over some new work for some time now and while his focus may seem to be the mainstream gig, there is some old Tij left in him and it's evident in today's featured track. Illenium and Jon Bellion's track 'Good Things Fall Apart' got the Tiesto "Big Room" treatment and it's a banger of note! Has a lot of elements from Tiesto's Red Lights album of which I personally was a big fan off. Yes I know many still wish he would go back to hard trance but I think he's still got ideas for that and you see it in his work with new artist on his Musical Freedom label, but for now we can enjoy this one, so turn up the volume.
