BIIANCO teams up with Marlon Hoffstadt for club-primed cut 'Touch My Body'

The track is the next single from Hoffstadt's forthcoming 'Daddycation' mini album

BIIANCO has teamed up with Marlon Hoffstadt as the pair this week (August 30) share their new collaborative single, 'Touch My Body'.

Taken from Hoffstadt's forthcoming mini-album 'Daddycation', the track features a hypnotic vocal from BIIANCO, whilst a Benassi-esque bassline is pushed to the forefront by Hoffstadt to create a sweaty peak-timer as club season begins to rear its head once more.

"‘Touch My Body’ started because I had been hearing all these edits of Benny Benassi’s ‘Satisfaction’ in people’s sets and realised it had been an unfortunate amount of time since someone made an original vocal like that," BIIANCO tells Mixmag. "Instead of just going to a voice generator software, I challenged myself to produce something with my own voice and achieve the same vibe. So I hit record and said the line 25 different ways with different voice inflections and then chopped them all together.

"I was so so happy when I found out Marlon Hoffstadt was into the vocal and wanted to collaborate on the song around it. His playful and magnetic energy has had such an influence on the music I’m making and sets I design so it was a dream come true to bring this to him. He put the track around it together and the rest is history. It’s been so crazy to play this song out because people learn the words via social media or even just listening to the first 15 seconds of it and then start singing along. It’s wild to see audiences know the words before we’ve even dropped it."

“I’ve been a fan of BIIANCO for a while now, always keeping up with their incredible studio videos on social media," Hoffstadt adds. "Their talent is undeniable, so when I got the vocal idea from them, I was super excited and instantly hooked. The vocals had that classic Benny Benassi ‘Satisfaction’ vibe, and knew it would be a perfect fit to my Daddy Trance sound. Working with BIIANCO has been an amazing experience from the start - we clicked instantly and became friends when we first met at the Desire party in Münster, Germany. I’m beyond excited for this track to finally drop and confident that this is just the beginning of many more collaborations to come."
