Atari on the dancefloor. Wolfgang Gartner & Popeska break down some blips at the disco with their introductory new track. Behind a funky groove and Daft Punk vocals, the pair proudly state “We Are the Computers” – as if they were fooling anybody. The track works its way into the rhythm early and keeps things moving on a light, but steady pace.
Popeska is continuing to assert himself as one of the more intriguing artists making electronic music right now. His euphoric tracks feel genuine and are well composed, often complemented by vocals which end up working their way creatively into the beat. Though he’s no stranger to any subgenre, his most recent progressive house blends are the bread and butter. Powered by a majestic childlike wonder, “Heart of Glass” floats along soft vocals from Denny White before shooting off towards the stars on a soulful drop. You may also remember his name form the empowering “The New Kings” featuring Luciana, or when he worked with Cadets on the adrenalized dreamhouse release “One More Night”. If you’ve been sleeping on him this whole time, it’s time to wake up.
Check out Popeska with Wolfgang Gartner and Conro live tonight (May 24) at Avalon Hollywood at 9:30pm PT. Tickets are available at the box office. In the meantime, download “We Are the Computers” for free below.
