I had an absolute blast working on this remix for Joel. The vocals provided instant inspiration, which made it easy and exciting to run wild with ideas. I took this one in a future bass/chill trap direction, because these genres feel like they facilitate a good blend of both interesting, energetic sounds AND emotive melodic content. I adore working with vocals and doing remixes, so if you're ever looking for someone to add a different feel to one of your tracks, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] - Cheers!

Each individual can interpret these 5 simple words in their own very different ways. Perhaps there was a toxic relationship that they needed to end. Perhaps "I don't need you anymore" could be aimed towards not just a person, but a habit. A substance - a struggle. Perhaps it could even be aimed at the idea of speaking to your former self - the old man, the sinful nature. In whichever way the listener relates to these words, the sentiment seems to be that there are some things that are best left in the past.

If Lane 8, EDX, and Cazzette were to collaborate, it might sound a little something like this. In "Next To Me" you have intimate vocals that remind you of Cazzette's "Sleepless" alongside a warm rhythmic bassline that makes you think of an artist like EDX. With a vocoded harmonic feel, the vocals rest beautifully on top of a bed of lush and emotive Rhodes chords, sunny tropical synth plucks, and dusty retro textures ...and you can't help but feel drawn in. The song has a distinct and emotional feel, but it also maintains a certain dance-friendly quality that could certainly inspire plenty of those "head bobbing with your eyes closed" sort of moments. "Next To Me" does a great job of tying together a song that makes you move while also making you feel a special something in it's softer and more subdued moments. This one is definitely something you'll want to add your weekend playlists for taking a drive down to the beach, having a cozy little house party with close friends, or warming up a crowd in the beginning of a long night of dancing. Get your hands on this little gem, and keep your eyes on this guy for more tasty house music in the future!
