Virtu takes on Elephante’s “Closer”

Elephante’s collaboration with Bishop, “Closer,” is a rather unassuming attempt at a feel-good house anthem, but Virtu has flipped the track into a must-hear release. The California producer adds a heavy dose of future-bass flavor that, when combined with a slight retooling of Bishop’s gorgeous vocal performance, eventually results in a climax of euphoric synths, stuttering production, […]
