Following a string of widely supported releases and years of international touring,
Shapov and Swanky Tunes come together on 'Wild & Free', a track that moves
between melodic club music and indie dance.
Bringing together their different approaches to songwriting and club production, the
collaboration leans into a more restrained direction, letting the elements unfold gradually
rather than forcing the track into obvious peak-time territory.
At the center of 'Wild & Free' sits a children's choir that gives the track its identity from
the first moments on. Combined with distorted arpeggios, steady percussion and a warm
but driving groove. The synth work keeps building throughout the arrangement without
becoming overloaded, while the vocals add a slightly fragile and human feeling that stays
with the track long after the drop. The result is a club record that works across both larger
festival settings and more intimate late-night moments alike.
