The newest collaboration between Still Young and Simon De Jano & Madwill, “Temptation” is forward-thinking electro veiled in nostalgia. Beginning with a slow and steady build, staccato string pads initiate the electrified countdown towards an instantly recognizable sample of Loleatta Hollaway’s “Love Sensation.” The arrangement then incorporates a tin filter to heighten the energy before dropping into an encompassing low-end and reverberating lead. There are more than enough lasers to satisfy your dance nostalgia, and classic keyboard progressions build up to the second breakdown’s bleating party horns. “Temptation” sounds completely at home in a jubilant electro or progressive set, and is available now on Beatport courtesy of Size Records.
The music video for “Temptation” focuses on the latter half of the track, utilizing a copy & paste aesthetic which draws from an eclectic well of inspiration. Click below for the full inspirational playlist behind “Temptation,” and read on for the artists’ explanations for them.
