Marlon Hoffstadt & southstar give liquid courage a BPM.
Contributed by Brooke Dougherty
Following the release of his single “Breath,” Berlin-based producers and DJs Marlon Hoffstadt (aka DJ Daddy Trance) and southstar have teamed up on “I Like.” This newest single is an ode to the thrilling anticipation you feel before a night out. And boy does it deliver.
Hoffstadt's knack for euphoric, festival-ready melodies meld effortlessly with southstar's atmospheric, tension-building production, making "I Like" feel sleek and polished without losing its club roots.
Push play on “I Like” and you’ll immediately be transported to a magnetic, sultry atmosphere that’ll have you setting your status to OOO, closing your laptop, and letting your hair down.
“Sun down, Friday night, uptown, city lights. Here I go, start it out. I like. Dressed up, out the door, So damn ready for one night, maybe more. I like”’
If Liquid Courage Was a Song
Listening to “I Like” feels like you’re already three drinks into the pre-game, not having a care in the world. Leaving all your worries behind for a night of possibilities on the town, fueled by liquid courage.
“Red strobe light, hot boys, dirty minds. When you crossed my way. I like, I like. Just you and I touched at first sight. And the world around us won’t stop turning tonight”
As the first chorus crashes in, shimmering synths and cascading keyboard melodies collide with the pulsating beat, and you’re whisked from getting ready in your room to a packed dance floor, lights flashing, sweat starting to form as you close your eyes and sway to the music.
“We’re dancing on sleazy ground. Bet you wanna get it on. I like, I like. You’ve got me damn right electrified. Don’t stop the rides. I like, I like”
At just over three minutes, “I Like” is the soundtrack for dreaming up a million places the night could lead: running into your favorite ex, losing yourself on the dancefloor with your best friends, or kissing a stranger. The possibilities are endless.
