Hayden James Gives ODESZA’s “The Last Goodbye” a Stunning House Makeover
This week ODESZA surprised fans by dropping an official remix of “The Last Goodbye,” the titular track from the duo’s Grammy-nominated album of the same, produced by none other than Australian house music virtuoso Hayden James. James’ upbeat rework of the soulful track is a funky re-imagination that sublimely reflects the intention and theme of ODESZA’s original. While “The Last Goodbye” is a powerful electronic record sampling Bettye LaVette’s 1965 song “Let Me Down Easy,” James transforms it into a decidedly house track—and a dancefloor filler. The Australian dance music star used a quicker tempo in his energetic, four-on-the-floor beat, producing staccato synths and a subdued drop with pulsing bass. James shrewdly leans on LaV...

Tiësto Drops New Hypnotic House Track, “Lay Low”
Tiësto has dropped his first new single of 2023, a hypnotizing house track called “Lay Low.” Brimming with sultry deep house undertones and spacey choral vocals, “Lay Low” sets the tone for what should be another big year for the Dutch dance music icon, who is currently gearing up for the release of his seventh studio album. Tiësto’s new single is the latest of a string of high-profile collabs blurring the lines of pop and house music, including “10:35” (with Tate McRae) and the anthemic “Hot In It” (with Charli XCX). Both are confirmed to appear on his forthcoming album, Drive. Tiësto recently said that Drive will take on a “completely new direction” as he embraces more house music production.

The duo is bringing the satisfying bounce of their signature basslines to “Chakras,” an energizing, dancefloor-ready track with catchy, tongue-in-cheek vocals. Over the course of 2022, the red-hot duo have notched a year of earworm singles such as “LIT” and “Free Ur Mind,” among other house bangers.
