Music News: GENESI, Wave Wave and Roland Clarke team up for ‘Phones Down’ via Tomorrowland Music

 


In a collaborative triumph, Italian DJ and producer GENESI, German producer Wave Wave, and American artist Roland Clark have joined their talents to create the new track “Phones Down,” released on Tomorrowland Music. This is the first time these three artists have worked together, and they deliver an inspiring anthem that addresses the most pressing topic in electronic music at the moment: phone usage on the dance floor. “Phones Down” skillfully combines the iconic vocals of Roland Clark with GENESI and Wave Wave’s signature sonics, driving the melody and creating an infectious floor filler that immediately captivates the audience.
GENESI: “The topic of excessive smartphone use is becoming increasingly debated and important. Beyond the 'problem' of people preferring to film instead of dancing during DJ sets, there is the growing issue of both young and older people mistaking the reality of social media for the real world. They continuously live in a world that is disconnected from the here and now. The song aims to be a protest message against this trend and highlight the issue, with the help of Roland Clark's voice.”
Wave Wave:"Like the song title already displays it’s about the actually club culture and the phone problematic. The record should be an advise to all the people. Enjoy the moment, capture the feeling, listen to the music and put away your phone! No device can capture this feeling.”
