You Should Listen To
Eluize – ‘WHAT4’ (Get It Quick Edit)
Priestess of synth, Eluize continues an ongoing prolific output of music releases with her new track ‘What4’. A decisive and commanding heater, this song knows what it wants and is sure to get it (your butt on the dancefloor). Eluize is home in SA after many years highlighting the Berlin and EU club circuit. It’s a true pleasure to have such a talent back on our shores to help sculpt the next generation of Adelaide’s music producers. Keep an eye out for her other DJ project, ‘Ally_O’, playing all the best venues in town.
