Tomorrowland Music and Selected. – two of dance music’s most esteemed record labels – have teamed up for an exciting collaborative EP, co-released through both imprints. For the second release, UK producer & DJ Nu Aspect and fellow UK singer/songwriter Jem Cooke have come together to deliver an energizing dance anthem with magnetic vocals and restless energy, combining into a well-executed dancefloor cut.
Here’s what Nu Aspect had to say about it:
“I’ve been working on various versions of ‘Distraction’ for over a year now. It’s essentially based around my love for some of the early 2000’s trance sounds trying to put a modern almost progressive spin to it.
And with Jem Cooke and myself having been trying to work on a track together for some time, I knew that she would smash it and contribute to the vibe in such a cool way. After some back and forth, we finished up the vocals and ‘Distraction’ was pieced together to what it is now. A banger!”
Speaking about the collaboration Jem Cooke said:
“The lyrics to ‘Distraction’ are definitely open to interpretation – they were a stream of consciousness one day when I was feeling a bit restless like I needed something I didn’t have but I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I’ve loved Sam’s (Nu Aspect’s) production for ages and was super keen to work something out with him, so being able to collaborate with him and have another release with both Selected. and Tomorrowland Music on this one is a dream.”
Tomorrowland Music‘s and Selected.‘s collaborative is made up of a string of brand-new productions by some of electronic music’s finest talents.
