It's been a week of new drops coming in hot from Miami Music Week, one of those track is the latest from American DJ and Producer, John Summit "Light Years". He dropped this on the main stage with his set with him and Dom Dolla. It's already been frequently played on all streaming platforms and like most of his other works, its a certified banger.
‘Light Years’ has travelled 9.46 trillion kms to reach us - impressive given that Elysian (Emma Hewitt, Maor Levi & Ilan Bluestone) only started their collective in 2020. ‘Light Years’ aside, they’ve packed a considerable amount into that time and space, delivering Anjunabeats the galactically titled ‘Little Star’, ‘Moonchild’ and others.
‘Light Years’ however sees them jump to another universe, that of Black Hole Recordings, for a succession of outings throughout the year’s course.
While we say: “spectacular intro to 2024”, there are those who’ll already have made contact with ‘Light Years’. Ilan snuck it aboard his ‘In Search of Sunrise 19’ disc back in December … and to no small effect. That, along with Emma’s Black Hole-released ‘Ghost Of The Light’ album last year, has trailblazed a new Elysian singles run.
Through jacked beats and cyberish FX, at its outset, ‘Light Years’ rocks down some darker corridors. Emma’s song however quickly identifies beauty lying in its depths. As its synth rays rise, Ilan and Maor’s riff lifts the feel, as Emma ponders the eternal question … “is anybody out there?”
