Dutch electronic talent Luuk van Dijk has joined forces with US singer-songwriter Dawn Richard on new single 'Love You', out 14th October on van Dijk's own Dark Side Of The Sun label.
Pairing a shimmering production with Dawn's irresistible vocals, 'Love You' is an ethereal dance jam that leaves a lasting impression. It follows last month's 'Hot Stuff', with both tracks set to feature on van Dijk's forthcoming debut album First Contact, out 11th November.
'When I started to make house music I was very intrigued by the sound that was coming from the UK and especially acts like Disclosure,' van Dijk recalls. 'They've been one of my biggest inspirations during my musical journey. A couple of years ago when I had a period when I was listening to a lot of garage and 2-step I also wanted to make a song that didn't have a 4x4 kick beat. I made the beat, made the chord riff, recorded the bassline and I could listen to this hook for hours.
He continues: 'The chords gave me a very warm feeling, my kind of love song. I finished the track and noticed there was something missing, a vocal. I wanted something more poppy, something that could work on the radio. I reached out to LA singer Dawn Richard and when she sent me back the vocal stems I was mind blown. She really brought this track to a whole new level, I couldn't be more happy with the result.'
