Sonically, Alok is in the midst of a new era that he terms “future-tech.” The Brazilian producer’s latest single “The Club Is Jumpin’” taps into the style in the context of a Destiny’s Child sample, reframed in a tech-heavy fashion fit for the club. The one-off is a reminder that Alok is no stranger to genre-bending; he’s known around the world for melding older and newer dance/electronic sounds and bringing them to dance floors across continents. Some of these performances include his debut summer residency at Hï Ibiza, where he will be the first Brazilian to ever hold a residency within the club’s main room. More recently though, he’ll be stopping by The Great Hall at Brooklyn’s Avant Gardner on May 27. Dancing Astronaut sat down with Alok ahead of his performance at the New York venue to talk future-tech, “The Club Is Jumpin’,” and his upcoming bookings.
