What song will define the summer of 2017? The Beatles’ “All You Need Is Love” was an appropriate anthem for the college-educated, politically-unmotivated flower children of the Vietnam War era. So what about now? Undeterred by a slew of fantastic tracks that have occupied the first half of the festival season, Los Angeles-based producer SNBRN throws his hat into the ring with a free release on his SoundCloud. “ELE” is nu-disco and indie dance, relentlessly driven by a successful tandem of a punchy piano riff and synths so bright it’ll give you, well, a sunburn. And of course, no summer song would be just without the pitched vocal samples we know and love so well. Be on the lookout for a few iterations of this track at your next festival event.
