French talent Kosling returns to Protocol Recordings with a shining example of his signature sound in “Take You There,” featuring a stunning performance by well-known singer Robin Valo. The track opens with piano instrumentals and soulful vocals, which swell into a cinematic chorus and finally into a soaring, emotive drop that’s a true progressive gem. “Take You There” is exactly the type of track the French producer is known for, one that you love to hear surrounded by your favorite people at your favorite festival – one that gives you goosebumps as you belt it out loud. It’s Kosling’s 7th single on our label, following his recent releases “All These Years” with Twice & Jordan Grace and his solo single “Back To You” before that. Robin Valo has previously collaborated with dance artists, releasing co-written tracks for Hardwell, Mike Williams, Blasterjaxx, Ummet Ozcan, Gareth Emery, and Headhunterz.
Founded by Nicky Romero, Protocol Recordings is one of the leading imprints for innovative electronic dance music. It boasts a roster of heavy-hitters, complemented with immensely talented up-and-comers such as Thomas Gold, Deniz Koyu, Teamworx, Futuristic Polar Bears, Trilane, Marcus Santoro, Stadiumx, Tim van Werd, and Nicky Romero himself, to name a few. All with a diverse range of sounds that are guaranteed to light up a dance floor. Kosling comes to Protocol with a resume that boasts several successful releases on Armada, Proximity, Revealed, and SIZE. His very first single – “Believe,” has garnered almost 1M streams in less than a month, earning the support of heavyweights, including Nicky Romero, David Guetta, Tiësto, and Afrojack, and “Wildest Dream” with Thomas Gold (also a Protocol release), which just broke 20M streams on Spotify alone. We can’t wait to see what Kosling has up his sleeve next.
