Meeanjin/Brisbane electronic act and producer Du0 has joined forces with local hip-hop act Reo Cragun for his latest single “Overdrive.” With its sparkly synthesisers and pulsing beats, this irresistible track should make your Thursday easier to swallow. I’m getting real Daft Punk vibes, which might not be surprising as it was mixed by Nicolas Essig, who previously worked with the iconic French duo.
“I’ve been a big fan of Reo for a long time and to get the opportunity to work with him on ‘Overdrive’ is a dream come true,” Du0 explained. “I wanted to touch on some of my previous more funky tracks, so I focused on funking up the bass guitar to tie in with some more fluffy synth sounds in the chorus. I also got my previous collaborator Fingazz (who has worked with Snoop Dogg, Bruno Mars and Machine Gun Kelly) on there to lay down some vocoder and talkbox. Lyrically, it is about the freedom of young love and going all in on someone.”
“Overdrive” comes from Du0’s EP FLOAT, which drops on April 19.
