Iconic producers Nicky Romero and Deniz Koyu have teamed up on their new track “Paradise,” an experimental dance-pop collaboration featuring indie band Walk Off the Earth. Romero and Koyu trade hard-hitting house beats for organic instrumentals and dreamy melodies on the track, which serve as the perfect backdrop for Walk Off the Earth‘s enchanting vocals. The appropriately-named “Paradise” evokes a utopian world where Saturday night is never-ending, all the while blurring the lines between genres with effortless ease. Romero has been exploring collaborations with artists outside of dance music recently, such as this summer’s country-influenced “Rise,” and he now conquers another fusion with the Canadian Youtube sensation Walk Off the Earth. Deniz Koyu returns to Protocol for the release of “Paradise” for the first time since 2015’s “Never Alone” with Thomas Gold and “The Way Out” featuring Amba Shepherd. Press play on “Paradise” and prepare to enter easy-listening utopia.
