Try sometime, say the things you couldn't say
The memory will waste away
Wash away all the things you used to hate
Don't blame your insecurities
About me, don't even talk about me
Call me when I'm going crazy
Power tripping glowing wavy
Drunk and high on my feet
Drunk and high on my feet
Don't think about me, don't even talk about me
Call me when I'm going crazy
Power tripping glowing wavy
Drunk and high on my feet
Don't even talk about me
Call me when I'm going crazy
Power tripping glowing wavy
Drunk and high on my feet
When do you stop being and become a celebrity
I need to do this toxic thing called sobriety
Sometimes I get so broke I run out of energy
Sometimes I get so broke I feel worthless
Taking care of everyone that's broken
Searching for peace in the scenes they don't grow up in
Their egos writhing to the beat of a happy theme song
Don't say the names of your demons it feels wrong
Try sometime, say the things you couldn't say
The memory will waste away
Wash away all the things you used to hate
Don't blame your insecurities
About me, don't even talk about me
Call me when I'm going crazy
Power tripping glowing wavy
Drunk and high on my feet
Drunk and high on my feet
Eyes blank still staring at the ceiling
Ego peeling, I keep it reeling
Tired feeling these outlines of a body on top of me
Body on top of me, I keep my skin close to me
Wear it out perfectly
Keep the duality of living a life for free
Where is your liberty
You said it was poison free
But your mentality It only lives to breed
Somewhere with royalty I hold my breath for peace I hold my breath for peace
about
Electro funk royalty Kraak & Smaak have been world leaders in their field since bursting on to the scene back in 2006. Since then, the EBBA winners have been prolific. Six albums (excluding remix albums!), support from Pete Tong and Annie Nightingale, guest mixes on BBC Radio 1, gigs at SXSW, Coachella, Glastonbury, Bonnaroo and tours with Faithless followed as just some of the vast career highlights as the trio go from strength to strength to strength.
Sommeron is taken from their most recent album Pleasure Centre and features a vocal collab with New-Zealand's rising stars imugi 이무기. One of the more downtempo tracks from the album, a tight groove and a lush chord progression carries the track through with a sound that takes from the pallets of US folk, yacht rock, dream pop and indie. The bedroom pop style vocals glide over the track effortlessly, broken up with smooth and sumptuous brass licks and even a rap verse thrown in for good measure. A track with a real summery feel and perfect for rooftop and lounge parties. And that’s before the remix from Nu Disco revelation Satin Jackets.
Satin Jackets puts his feel-good indie dance stamp on this track bringing it in to a world of infectious summer house. As a regular charter on Hype Machine, the talented multi-instrumentalist has been making a name for himself for over fifteen years. He brings his four-to-the-floor tropical style grooves to the record, a sound that has won him fans in the form of Majestic Casual, Clash Magazine, and i-D mag in recent times and tours that have spanned across the globe in the US, Canada, Mexico and Asia.
This remix brings this already uplifting and playful record to new realms. Smooth disco and diva funk combined with these delicious indie-pop vocals are a wonderful combination and with two artists with near 100 million streams on Spotify between them, it is a track that will undoubtedly become an instant hit before growing exponentially across the summer time.

2 classics that have had the Star treatment! Simply sensational. The synth work on Everybody Loves The Sunshine, combined with that broken beat and the percussive elements are simply irresistible. Sure, everybody loves the sunshine but everybody should love the work Star Creature does as well! Stunning. DJ Osric
NOCUI was out to create a sense of “blissful urgency” with “Anomie,” and its four breathless, textural dance songs succeed in at that aim. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 18, 2023
