Over here at THUMP we wonder why anyone would ever listen to emotional synth pop when it can be so easily translated into smooth, vibey, beach-ready techno? Culture Fires, New York DJ MANIK's alter ego, wonders the same thing, so he's made it easy for us. Taking up-and-coming Australian duo We Are The Brave's song "Sparrow," Culture comes up with seven-minutes of techno perfect for that sandy summer party. Vibes, along with synths and a dreamy guitar, flow right in and out of this song. It's like a dancing ray of sunshine.Find more synth-pop-turned-dance-music check out We Are the Brave's Sparrow (The Remixes), which also features work by Gnome, The Dualists and Rich Morel.Culture Fires is MANIK's still-mostly-mysterious alter ego, so stay tuned to MANIK's SoundCloud for similar sounds.
