Having appeared on BlackPlastic.co.uk back in December with their thick, big room focused track Losing Focus, the Dance Yourself Clean crew are back with something a little different.
For those unaware, Dance Yourself Clean started as an indie-dance party in Seattle in 2013, before branching out with a touring party, and subsequently starting record label Lights & Music, a production outfit, and ultimately, a music and remix project.
Always Forever retains the no-nonsense, big room aesthetic of Dance Yourself Clean’s previous work, but in contrast to Losing Focus, it is imbued with a light playfulness. That comes from the muted guitar and angelic vocals of Donna Lewis’ 90s classic, I Love You Always Forever. Here it is combined distortion embracing bass and epic synth chords to create something emotionally resonant, amplifying the feelings of the original. It is, undoubtedly, the kind of obvious-once-you-hear it treatment that feels well-suited to wider mainstream success, and yet at the same time I love it all the same.
