The Kid - When You Wake
They Say: "When You Wake is a song written by American friends of mine called Philip Zach and Coury Palermo. I was originally just supposed to remix their version for them but I loved the song so much that I asked permission to re-make the whole thing. I teamed up with Producer Andy Hunter for this track who has made music that has been in ‘The Matrix’, “Need For Speed’ and loads of other things. That guy really knows what he’s doing. I learnt a lot from him".
I am really influenced by Zedd & Calvin Harris. I started DJing when I was 14 and then later became a producer. So I guess I can relate to them being able to do both. I’m also a singer-songwriter so I love how EDM is connecting both worlds. Love it or hate it I had so much fun reworking this song and making it my own and I’m going to continue staying true to myself and to my sound.
We Say: One that split team ATL - some of us finding it a bit....much. As for me (Rigsy) - I'm well onboard with this ludicrous poppy and undeniably euphoric EDM. If you're going to do something - why not do it right? Absolutely huge.
