Acclaimed DJ and producer The Magician has just dropped latest single, ‘Estate 1997 in Italia’, featuring the mesmerizing vocals of the talented singer Phra. A tribute to Italy and its vibrant culture, this is the second official single from The Magician’s upcoming studio album, ‘VOYAGE’.
‘Estate 1997 in Italia’ takes listeners on a sensory journey, where the warmth of the sun, the striped umbrellas, the sweet taste of ice cream and the sound of the waves blend harmoniously with the music.
With its infectious beat, captivating melodies, and Phra‘s distinctive vocal performance, the single is a delightful blend of electronic and pop influences, showcasing The Magician‘s signature sound that has garnered him a global fanbase.
‘VOYAGE’ marks a significant milestone in The Magician‘s illustrious solo career spanning 15 years. Known for his multiple top ten hits and original remixes for artists such as Lykke Li, Clean Bandit, Years & Years, and Tom Grennan, The Magician is finally set to unveil his first-ever studio album.
A labour of love, ‘VOYAGE‘ is a phenomenal 15-track journey that truly showcases his musical wizardry, crafted not for the dancefloor but as an invitation to travel on earth and beyond through his sounds.
The name ‘VOYAGE‘ is representative of travel, an integral part of The Magician‘s life for many years. It reflects the ways in which travel enriches, recharges, and awakens the soul, and the influence this has inevitably had on his sound.
It is a simple yet evocative title that mirrors the diversity of experiences music can offer, whether a physical journey through the stars or an emotional journey through sounds and rhythms, The Magician seamlessly conjures an atmosphere conducive to discovery, exploration, and escape.
“When I thought about my album, I didn’t want to create something for the club but rather something to listen to, whether on a plane, in a car, on a boat, on foot… I wanted to provide a sonic journey that reflects the sensations that take you when you are on the move, with a panorama before you,” The Magician
Adding to the album’s immersive quality, The Magician has collaborated with the prestigious multidisciplinary creative studio Werlen Meyer to create all artworks and animated visuals for his rich tapestry of tunes.
Captivated by The Magician‘s project, co-founder Gwenn Germain—a talented director and cartoonist who has previously worked with Wes Anderson—has taken on the design of all accompanying visuals, bringing the songs’ themes to life.
