It’s secure to say that there was zero expectation that arguably essentially the most high-profile launch nonetheless sitting on Dancing Astronaut‘s most-anticipated IDs of 2022 would get the inexperienced gentle at this level. To hint this launch again to its begin, the Seven Lions and REZZ collaboration all began from a Tweet. Whereas nearly all of requests for 2 artists to finally cross paths are despatched into the Twitter void, REZZ truly replied to at least one in Might 2021 that advised a gathering between her and Seven Lions would have a worthwhile outcome though their types fall on totally different ends of the digital spectrum. However the Ophelia Data boss instantly hopped into the thread to additionally his give stamp of approval on the concept. And when he made his return to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for EDC Las Vegas’ twenty fifth anniversary celebration in 2021, we found out precisely what that might sound like. From that second on, it remained some of the sought-after IDs in dance music and greater than a yr later, “REZZ Lions” is now named “Arcturus” and it’s out there free of charge through SoundCloud.
When “Arcturus”—which couldn’t be a extra becoming title—hadn’t made an look on both the Past the Veil or “Nightmare On Rezz Avenue 2” tracklists, it appeared as if any hope of it incomes a full-fledged launch had been shortly fading. And each had touched upon why that grew to become a rising suspicion, explaining that they each felt it was higher suited to reside play solely and that they’d—and nonetheless have—the aim of creating a “correct” vocal collaboration. That they had just about no intentions of letting it see the sunshine of day, however after so many pleas for them to lastly free it—specifically from us and particularly after it eluded every of the 2’s latest initiatives—Seven Lions and REZZ reversed course, deciding to shock launch it as an early vacation current.
And whereas we’ve had an ample quantity time to digest simply how evenly balanced of a collaboration “Arcturus” is, its long-awaited launch confirms what that authentic Tweet had predicted would occur if the respective Ophelia Data and HypnoVizion founders met. “Arcturus” seamlessly connects the artistic worlds of two of dance music’s most beloved names, stirring their unparalleled sovereignty over melodic dubstep and mid-tempo alongside earlier than a mind-numbing psytrance-instilled apex fills its backend. Perhaps someday sooner or later “Arcturus” will discover its manner over from SoundCloud to streaming platforms, however for now, benefit from the dream pairing that can undoubtedly be one in every of 2022’s high releases.
