Duskus releases his latest single, ‘Let Go’

London-based producer Duskus has released his latest single, ‘Let Go’.

The track sees a change in sound for the artist, in which he channels his love of 2000s rave music into his works, reminiscing raves attended as a teenager.

Taking influence from names such as Overmono, DJ Seinfield and Mixmag cover star Fred again.., Duskus has coined this new sound ‘romantic rave’, with an emphasis on rhythm and minimalism.

"This beat is a little different, I wanted to make something simple again that wasn’t super ‘poppy',” explains Duskus on the inspiration behind ‘Let Go’.

“As I was on tour, I didn’t have access to any of my equipment so I wanted to see if I could make something just on my laptop like the old days - this is the result of me messing around."

‘Let Go’ has an elegant yet emotive atmosphere which is channelled throughout, combined with an uplifting spirit to create a bumping cut to move into summer with.

The release of this single follows the first from his upcoming EP - entitled My Heart - and is accompanied by the launch of Duskus’ monthly event series, ‘Romantic Rave’.

With a name identical to his self-coined sonic identity, the event will be headlined and hosted by the producer in effort to forefront the sound.

‘Let Go’, from Duskus’ upcoming EP ‘Healers Vol.1’, is available now - you can check it out here.
