Electronic Pop from Lights DC

Hailing from Dublin, electronic music producer Neil Dixon started Lights DC as a project to remix and collaborate with other Irish artists. So far he’s linked up with the likes of Sack frontman Martin McCann and The Late David Turpin as well as remixing tracks from artists such as the 202s, Tieranniesaur and Le Galaxie.

With his own original material, he dropped the first Lights DC single in 2012 with “Calypso”, an 80s style synthpop piece wrapped up in melancholic tones. Sharing “Leaving My Heart Behind” two years later, he released a compilation of his music in 2021 with the ten-track record Prints 2011-2014 while in the middle of taking a hiatus from making new music since 2018.

Now, making his return, he brings us his first new music in four years with his brand new single titled “Heavy Feelings”. Once again working with previous collaborator Martin McCann, with his new track, Lights DC lays down a hazy downtempo sound that blends elements of early house styles with darker touches of 80s electronica.

Driven by a snapping danceable beat, a rich synth-based tapestry that pairs rhythmic stabs with dynamic melodic lines and Martin McCann smooth vocals, “Heavy Feelings” is an instantly catchy dance track that perfectly balances influences from the past with the shine of modern electronic music, all filtered through a sepia sonic lens to create a warm and engaging new track.
