'As excitement continues to build around the release of his brand new album 'Drive', Gareth Emery returns with the second single and a full remix package for the mighty 'Lights & Thunder' featuring Krewella. Out through Garuda, you can get the whole bundle on 18th March 2014.
The follow up single to 'U', 'Lights & Thunder' shows off a slightly more energetic side to the album with its big and anthemic vocals by Krewella combined with heaving synths and pounding drums. The track retains a melodic quality throughout, but ultimately takes its place as a full on club banger!
'Lights & Thunder' also features a massive set of remixes from Deorro, R3hab and Darren Styles.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Manchester was and will always be city with rich vibrant music culture responsible for the birth of many music styles and many important figures in the history of pop music. One of those artists that manage to change the world of EDM and enlighten our life with their music is Gareth Emery. Talented dj, producer, radio host and label owner Gareth is about to reveal hit top album Drive that many of the tracks are already supported by Armin van Buuren in his show ASOT. The brand new single that is out now is the massive Rain & Thunder featuring the exceptional vocals by Krewella. The Club mix is a powerful tough bouncy epic prog house smasher with the peak time mainstage anthem ALERT written all over it. In the breakdown we get the emotional synthy melody that Gareth knows with so much talent to compose and upon the Krewella vocal that will spice up your life and offer you the needed sparkle to light up the fire. The climax is tough, banging but very melodic and uplifting as well. Its progressive house made by the hands of someone that loves trance and that is pretty evident. The Deorro remix is already beatport Top 100 top 10 and it deserves it of course. Super tight and extremely dangerous for the weak hearted remix that sharpens the edges and make it ready to attack with confidence your dancefloor and it sounds one of this year's Miami Winter Music Conference must play anthem. The drop is as always maddening with dirty dutch heavy influences to blow speakers and cause mayhem on the floor with its pitched melodies and various "hey hooo" style vocal samples. Do you want something harder? Then don't forget to check the Rehab remix. The dirty dutch producer adds his well known heavy drums and earth shaking basslines while the breakdown is really sweet at first with nice twist in the original melody but very soon the drop is back and the track goes totally maddening perfect for summer festivals. Peak Time Banger Guaranteed! #PureGold Love it
