Rising US producer MEETCH kicks off the first in a run of major new music releases with hot new single ‘Body On Me’, a collaboration with everyone’s favourite Norwegian dance superstar Ørjan Nilsen, out now on Robotic Rumbling Records.
The track, which sees the pair unite in the studio for the very first time, is a high octane slice of bouncing electro peppered with vocal stabs and swaggering, jacking synth lines that gradually build up to a rushing, euphoria-tinged drop. It’s an emotive dance floor banger that perfectly encapsulates the production values of both artists, as MEETCH explained:
“I have always had a vision of what I want my music to sound like and what my brand would be about. ‘Body On Me’ is the perfect reflection of that – it’s energetic, yet emotional, it allows for people to see the dancefloor as their safe haven, it’s groovy, it’s fun, it’s just a song for the people. I am everyone’s favourite robot, I am a man of the people and I want to bring groove, joy and happiness on the dancefloor.”
Speaking about the experience of working with Nilsen, whose 20 year career has established him as one of the biggest influences from the North European electronic circuit, MEETCH said: “Working with Ørjan was such an amazing experience – he brings so much legacy and knowledge, and I think together we managed to bring a perfect balance between melodic house and peak groove energy. I can’t wait to see how people connect with it!”
With the opportunity to work with pretty much anyone in the industry, Nilsen said it was his manager’s relentless enthusiasm for the young artist that convinced him to meet. “I first heard about MEETCH through my manager, who kept telling me about this new artist she’d signed and how much energy, drive and passion he brought to the table. Then I met him in person and it completely validated everything she’d been saying!
“I’ve been doing this for over 20 years,” he continued, “and like everything, this industry has its highs and lows. But every now and then you meet someone who reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place and that’s the kind of stuff that keeps me going. I love the groove MEETCH brings in his records, and when you pair that with his take on life and music, it was just inevitable that we’d end up making some music together sooner or later. So here we are… and this is only the beginning!”
