After two years of anticipation, one of melodic techno’s most sought-after IDs is finally here: Konstantin Sibold and Adam Sellouk’s ‘Day ‘N’ Night’. Following their acclaimed debut EP The Dusk and Dawn, this marks the duo’s second collaboration — combining their distinct sonic outputs into a fresh take on one of the biggest tracks of the past two decades.
First premiered on the main stage by Kevin de Vries at Tomorrowland 2023, this bold reimagining of Kid Cudi’s 2008 classic ‘Day ‘N’ Nite’ — which peaked at #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was ranked at #7 on Complex’s “100 Best Songs of the Complex Decade” — breathes new life into the iconic original, turning it into a peak-time weapon for the world’s biggest stages.
Already a staple in sets from scene heavyweights including Tale Of Us, Adam Beyer, Cassian, Layton Giordani, and more, the track has lit up the dance floor from Ultra Music Festival and Coachella to Ushuaïa Ibiza and the Las Vegas Sphere, cementing its status as a global club anthem.
“I had the initial idea for this track around two years ago and instantly felt, when playing it for the first time, that it had such a deep impact on the dance floor because people started singing along right away even though they had never heard the track, just because the lyrics are so well known,” says Konstantin Sibold. “I brought Adam on board to give it the final modern touch and ever since the track is a key essential of our DJ sets. Very happy to finally set this baby free!”
“When I first heard the early version of this track that Konstantin came up with a couple of years ago, I immediately felt its power and was super excited when he asked me to be a part of it,” adds Adam Sellouk. “The song has become a staple in both our DJ sets, and it's always amazing to watch the crowd sing along to the iconic lyrics. It feels great to finally release it into the world!”

[item value="10"]Konstantin Sibold & Adam Sellouk - Day 'N' Night [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Konstantin Sibold and Adam Sellouk's collaboration on "Day 'N' Night" stands as a testament to cutting-edge production techniques and meticulous sound design. This 126 BPM progressive masterpiece seamlessly blends elements of melodic house, techno, and acid house, creating a rich and immersive auditory journey. The foundation of the track is built upon deep, pulsating basslines, crafted using analog synthesizers that provide a warm, full-bodied resonance. These basslines are complemented by meticulously programmed thumping kicks, achieved through layered drum samples and precise compression techniques to ensure punch and clarity in high-energy environments. Pounding drums and dark, melodramatic percussive synths add dynamic textures, employing sidechain compression to create rhythmic breathing space within the mix. The synths themselves are processed through various modulation effects, including phasers and flangers, lending a futuristic, spacey character that aligns with the melodic techno aesthetic. Vocally, "Day 'N' Night" incorporates a well-known sample, expertly manipulated through time-stretching algorithms and advanced reverb settings to evoke a sense of nostalgia while maintaining a modern edge. The vocal is subtly layered with harmonic enhancers and passed through stereo imaging tools to achieve a wide, enveloping presence in the mix. The acid house influence shines through with the inclusion of classic 303-style acid layers. These are generated using resonant filter sweeps and distortion units, adding a gritty, raw texture that contrasts beautifully with the track's lush melodic elements. Automation is key here, with filter cutoffs and resonance parameters dynamically evolving to maintain listener engagement. Overall, "Day 'N' Night" is a masterclass in genre fusion and production prowess. Its intricate sound design, combined with thoughtful arrangement and mixing techniques, ensures its place as a standout track on the main stages of summer festivals, captivating audiences with its out-of-this-world sonic landscape. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
