Description:
Experience the powerful collaboration between two Drumcode mainstays, Layton Giordani and Bart Skils, with the release of "Deadly Valentine" — a dark-edged yet euphoric techno thriller on Drumcode Records. This standout single showcases Skils' globally acclaimed, relentless techno style alongside Giordani’s innovative genre-blending approach, which fuses melodic house, progressive, and indie dance influences with driving techno elements.
Both artists have a rich history of high-energy performances, having played B2B at major events like Drumcode, Loveland, and Awakenings. Their first standalone collaboration, "Deadly Valentine", builds on their previous work — including Giordani’s recent rework of Tiga and Audion’s "Let’s Go Dancing" and the energetic "Freaks At Night" single.
Inspired by an indie dance rabbit hole on Spotify, Layton comments, "I was listening to Spotify and going through an indie dance rabbit hole. I stumbled upon this track, was instantly hooked, and knew Bart was the right guy to collaborate with." Bart adds, "Layton sent me the vocal idea, and I crafted it into a rolling groove, updating it several times with a new vocalist for the release."
"Deadly Valentine" features complex, steady percussion paired with an insistent techno beat, creating a dark, questioning atmosphere. The high, sweet vocal—layered with echoes and harmonies—sings romantic wedding ceremony lyrics in both French and English, adding an ironic or provocative twist to the track — perfect for dancing, a proposal, or just to move to.
