The Magician strikes gold again with his new single ‘Sunlight’ in collaboration with Years & Years singer Olly Alexander, released late Summer 2014 via The Magician’s own label Potion.
A bonafide hands-in-the-air Summer record that will definitely not sound out of place echoing throughout the Balearic Isles, ‘Sunlight’ is built for sun-flecked terraces with it’s rolling up-tempo bassline that pushes Years & Years vocals deep into smile-firmly-on-the-face territory. Make no mistake, The Magician has dug deep for gold in aural form with‘Sunlight’.
Long associated with energetic dance releases, The Magician has taken things into a new plane with ‘Sunlight’. Previously a member of revered Balearic disco duo, Aeroplane, The Magician struck out on his own in 2010 for a raft of collaborations with Yuksek and epic remixes such as Clean Bandit’s ‘Rather Be’ and Lykke Li’s ‘Follow Rivers’ which has since topped the 40 million views on YouTube mark: no mean feat for any DJ/producer.
Arguably best known to an army of modern-day music lovers through his monthly MagicTapes, The Magician regularly sifts through new music - exclusives from other artists plus music from fans - crafting these tracks into a new DJ mix tape which is seen as a barometer of what’s hot and what’s not, With the ability to break an upcoming artist, he’s gained a cult following of disco, pop and house fans.
To coincide with the launch of 'Sunlight' The Magician has also announced the first of his personally curated 'POTION' events, beginning in London & Paris with more European dates set to be announced.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The Magician is definitely the next big thing from the deep house scene that will get the mainstream recognition that he deserves. His superb single Sunlight features the soulful vocals by Years & Years singer Olly Alexander. The track is a wonderful deep late night house feel good relaxing and soothing anthem with vocals that are simply excellent and most appropriate for this fantastic record. Deep haunting moody basslines, pumping bouncy kicks, warm strings, electronic music influences and quality soulful vocals. It's one of those records that you play again and again when you want to recall some of the finest moments of your summer holidays. Blonde remix is deep UK garage house infused version with 90's style basslines, tribal groove, cool organ riffs and piano chords that crawl under your skin pretty easily. Darius remix is the relaxing soothing groove chilling version for those after club moments when you relax while you drive your car back home. Watermät in his remix follows his signature sound with cool relaxing intro with the full vocal followed by the more upfront dark techno house sequence that will put many clubs on fire so better have handy the telephone of the fire brigade. Hit record guaranteed already UK Top 10 anthem. #PureGold Love IT
