Martin Solveig is the man who gave us ‘Hello‘ and ‘Boy & Girls‘ and has now given us his new LP Smash. The French Super-DJ/Producer has made the album a huge collaborative effort with Dragonnette and Kele of Block Party with guest appearances from Dev and rising British talent Sunday Girl. Martin’s sound is a mix of funk and house with a very strong vocal presence in all his music. The music is usually driving, dance inducing and meant for late night, so for me it is quite nice to see something from him that is a little more laid back. Surprisingly the track that does it is the one titled ‘The Night Out’, it is a wonderful merging of alt. pop sounds with Martin’s amazing dance sensibility.
