Following the success of his nu-disco remake of Blue Monday, Israeli producer DE SOFFER returns with a stunning rework of Smalltown Boy — one of the most emotional and celebrated songs of the 1980s.
This vocal was originally recorded for another project, but when the track didn't materialise, DE SOFFER asked to work with it — and he has absolutely delivered. Smalltown Boy is a notoriously difficult song to adapt for the club: the verses carry emotional weight, but the original's breakbeat-style structure doesn't translate naturally to a 4/4 floor.
DE SOFFER solves that problem with style. He keeps the iconic synths and melancholic beauty of the original, then adds an infectious disco bassline, guitar groove, and rich melodic lift that transforms it from an 80s anthem into a prime-time nu-disco floor filler.
The extended version mirrors the original's emotional arc while dropping into a euphoric, arpeggiated electro-disco finale — the kind of end-of-night moment that leaves the whole ro.
