Kasablanca just announced the release of their debut album, Higher Resolution (Side A), set for October 2024, along with an album tour to kick off right after. If that wasn’t enough, they also gifted us with the first single off the album, a collaboration with Nordic duo anamē, entitled ‘Daydream.’
Originally debuted on the Anjunadeep 15 mixed compilation in May, ‘Daydream’ has been a highly requested track from both acts, with many fans excited for the team-up of two rapidly rising heavyweight acts on the Anjunabeats roster. Featuring vocal samples from UK songwriters Harvey Kirkby and Rhys Kirkby-Cox (aka Everyone You Know), the summery melodic house track is a fun deviation from Kasablanca’s typically darker techno sound. Anamē debuted the single in June at Anjunadeep Explorations Festival in Albania, testing it out across several days of crowded dance floors.
The electronic duo has been on a hot streak in recent months with their Lane 8 collaboration ‘Remission‘ in April, their solo track ‘Terminal Feeling‘ in June, and now this collaboration with anamē. This pivot came after lead singer Micky started the year off with a hiatus from music after a cancer diagnosis in late 2023. With a massive return to full form alongside the aptly-named ‘Remission’ release, Kasablanca has since been busy introducing new Citizens to their epic live show at mainstages around the world, including Ultra’s Miami, Peru, and Chile; EDC; the Brooklyn Mirage; Bonnaroo and many more throughout the summer to come including their first European tour before the album release.
Equally as busy on the road, Scandinavian duo anamē are also playing out the new collab across their extensive tour. Finishing up a massive 2023 with their debut album Beautiful World and the album world tour reaching dozens of dates, anamē still have plenty more to come, with Summer shows lined up all across North America, Europe, India, and Australia.
‘Daydream’ is set to release tomorrow (July 26th) on Anjunabeats. You can pre-save the track here.
