Is there anything FISHER can’t do? The Gold Coast DJ and producer is one of the country’s biggest electronic stars who continues to drop banger after banger, exemplified by his latest release, ‘Ocean’.
A collaboration with indie dance duo AR/CO (Mali-Koa and Leo Stannard), ‘Ocean’ is a vibrant house tune with a euphoric vibe. It’s exactly the type of dancefloor filler you’d expect from FISHER, who had this to say about the song: “Trying to bring the ocean to the groove. Every time I play this track, the dance floor explodes like a whale’s blowhole! With such a saucy beat and AR/CO’s euphoric vocals, it’s hard not to move.
“It was such a pleasure writing this track with AR/CO. These legends are definitely ones to watch out for in the future.”
AR/CO added: “While we were in Oz chatting with our mates about standout artists on the scene, one name kept coming up: Fish. He’s a national treasure over there and has been making waves around the world too.
“We’d written a track called Ocean, and with Fish being not only one of the biggest DJs in the world but also a pro surfer, the collaboration felt like it was meant to be. The vibe between us is super laid-back and full of good times on both sides, so it all came together naturally.
“Every time we hear this track, we fall in love with it all over again. We can’t wait to share it with everyone.”
