When it comes to electronic music, few artists manage to blend nostalgia with fresh, innovative sounds like Caribou, known offstage as Dan Snaith. His newest single, ‘Volume’, is a harmonious ode to a time when 80s beats ruled the airwaves, directly tapping the spirit of M|A|R|R|S’ groundbreaking ‘Pump Up The Volume’. But ‘Volume’ isn’t simply a revisit; it’s a reinterpretation that radiates originality and Snaith’s signature touch.
- The dance floors are about to feel a resurgence of that classic 80s vibe.
- With ‘Volume’, Snaith creates a contemporary classic that resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the pull of an infectious beat.
- This track follows his recent atmospheric offerings, ‘Honey’ and ‘Broke My Heart’.
In Snaith’s own words, the encounter with ‘Pump Up The Volume’ was transformative, sparking a lifelong admiration for electronic beats and influencing his creative trajectory. ‘Volume’ is a tribute to this musical awakening, serving both as nostalgia for those who witnessed the original hit and a gateway for new listeners to discover.
Additionally, Snaith’s creative output has been on a high, with remixes of ‘Broke My Heart’ weaving their way through the electronic music scene. Noteworthy mixes include the club version by Champion, which made waves in Charli xcx’s Ibiza Boiler Room set, and a Harry Hayes remix born from an Instagram fan edit.
