Head to the Beach with This New Culture Fires Remix

Synth pop-turned-dance music from the artist formerly known as MANIK.

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.
