Straight Outta Line

BOTH

[PIAS] Recordings

WE SAY

Currently building and about to explode across Europe, we instantly loved this track by BOTH on its very first play. All the key on-trend EDM elements are there to make this sound massive in the sunshine by a pool this summer and beyond, in a club where this banger will fit easily into any upfront mix, or simply pumping out of a radio. The two guys behind it are a bit of an enigma, though. All we know is that one of the duo is from France and the other from Belgium. They're artists in the own right but joined forces through their shared love of dance music. We're told that the vocal comes from a mysterious Northern Soul genius, so that's got us intrigued even more. The feel of it all is not dissimilar to 2013's million-selling anthem Wake Me Up by Avicii featuring Aloe Blacc. With the themes on this hot track being solidarity, strength and brushing yourself down then getting back up again in the face of adversity, this should, by rights, deliver massive sales worldwide and be one of the biggest crossover club hits on the planet this year.
