As ongoing COVID-19 health concerns continue to limit the live event circuit, Dancing Astronaut is delivering the answer to the question, “what’s the next best thing to catching Dzeko live?” That is, of course, a brand new mix from the Canadian tastemaker, crafted exclusively for Dancing Astronaut.An esteemed electronic tastemaker who built a large part of his early pedigree under the Dzeko & Torres banner, Dzeko takes over Dancing Astronaut’s SoundCloud for one hour, delving into “golden age” classics and newer electronic staples and dance-pop hybrids alike. Pop-inflected house permeates the mix while intermittent doses of mashups add dance-worthy punctuation. Earth, Wind & Fire‘s “September” and FISHER‘s “Losing It” represent just one of the ear catching collisions that command attention on the Dancing Astronaut exclusive.Dzkeo’s mix trails his March remix of Jessie Reyez‘s “LOVE IN THE DARK,” and most recently, his Keith Urban feature, “Both Still Young,” released in June. Listeners who first became acquainted with Dzeko’s name prior to the start of his solo career in 2016 will find his mixing acumen ever adept four years later on an output that, true to Dzeko’s aim, translates the energy of the live show arena into a re-creation that easily lends itself to replays.
