3LAU, Paris & Simo feat. Bright Lights – Escape

Posted by Middy on June 24, 2013

Vegas kid and mashup man, 3LAU has teamed up with Canadian duo, Paris & Simo to present their long awaited single “Escape“. The instrumental version has been hammered out by both 3LAU and Paris & Simo for quite some time now, but now they have acquired the hot in demand vocal talents of LA based singer Bright Lights to give it the anthemic sound it was looking for. This is the first taste of originals from Justin Blau, with the big room twist we have come to expect from Paris & Simo, including their previous release on Revealed Recordings, “Seasons“. For those who say it sounds too similar to “Rift” from Michael Brun & Dirty South, let the above picture of them playing “Escape” at E Zoo on September 2nd, 2012, well before “Rift” was on the market be your evidence of originality.

It is fascinating to see Justin Blau go from being a college kid hanging out in the Las Vegas clubs his dad works with, to now touring all over the US with his first big single getting released on Hardwell‘s Revealed Recordings. Paris & Simo have proven themselves to be champions of the big room sound, while 3LAU still has to prove himself beyond this point with further successes on the original and remix front. As a first original, I am very impressed, and he is heading down the path that MAJK has led from mashups to originals.
