Eve Alai drops cross-continental collab with Arjun Ratwatte and Madaid on tropical funk bop “Summer”

“Melancholic nu disco meet nu garage vibes lay over a modern house groove, with sultry pop vocal top lines and stabs reigning through. Think of a slowed down two-step remix of a vocal banger from the early two-thousands, this Asian collaboration has done a bit of digging around to carve their sound.” - Mixmag Asia

Singapore-based electronic artist Eve Alai teams up with UK based artist Arjun Ratwatte and Sri Lankan producer Madaid on the laid-back jam “Summer”—out on all digital platforms worldwide this 26 Feb 2021 via Umami Records.

A much-welcomed departure from Eve Alai’s deep house numbers, “Summer” strikes gold with the sound of California sunset coasting through fizzy, retro-funk arrangements and feel-good tropical vibes.
