The engine starts, Daniel Grau’s 1971 Dodge Charger 440 accelerates towards the sunset, his new song is here. “Dance with me” is the second single from the iconic Venezuelan producer Daniel Grau in more than 30 years. The song will be released in the forthcoming album El Mágico Mundo de Daniel Grau this year.

The song is a sequel of the statement made by the first single, a retrieval of Grau’s particular style: venezuelan synth disco with a funky turn, a vision of a prosperous and modern Caracas but without nostalgia, on the contrary, we are invited to a living thing, something that has been always alive and running, because a free soul will always be free. “Dance with me” is a vibrant invitation, a punchy melody of a retro-futurist moog lead over disco music arrangements while a sort of melancholic synthetic electric guitar talks with pentatonic notes from another dimension.

Two sections, A and B, are like two episodes of this journey in his car, a soundtrack. The A section always opens up with 3 notes, a brief invitation to stand up, to start the engine, so go forward. The moog lead the way while sampled guitars create background textures, electric guitar licks paint the atmosphere with a bluesy feeling. The B section feels like an open space, suddenly the Charger 440 takes off, is time to let the imagination dance.

El Mágico Mundo de Daniel Grau is the first Grau’s album since mid-80s and will be released this year, breaking almost 30 years of silence of this producer.
