DJ and producer DJ Roko is on the rise, starting to set the EDM scene ablaze with his music. Born in the West Midlands in the UK, DJ Roko currently resides in Glasgow, Scotland, further perfecting his distinctive sound. Currently, he has more than 4,9k Spotify streams.
The newest single, "By Your Side", expresses the ability of DJ Roko to create tracks that are sure to get audiences dancing on the floor and create an unforgettable musical experience. "By Your Side" undeniably proves that Roko can flex his musical muscles to create party-starting jams that will keep one moving the entire summer. Teaming up with rapper Novaman, they have combined their talents to create one monster of a feel-good jam. The second the opening synth sweeps and percussion come through, the vibe of fun and cheerfulness already has you hooked.
The instrumental herein is just great: bright keys and rhythm licks with retro disco, an emphatic bass line, and punchy drumming that sets the frame for dancing that never stops. More flavors come in with added layered synths and chopped vocals to keep it interesting as this track builds and builds. It is pretty easy to appreciate the songwriting skills displayed here; skillfully, the arrangement raises energy throughout without losing the carefree summer feeling.
This track is undeniably made for maximum fun, whether one is at the club or hitting the beach this season. From what has been perceived, Roko surely does have a gift for capturing those sunny, good vibes through his productions. "By Your Side," he's once again delivered the sort of dancefloor-oriented EDM anthem that people will want to hear on repeat all season long.
Having worked hard on his music, "By Your Side" sees him at his best, perfecting his skills both in production and collaborative spirit to maximum effect. Bright and banging releases only keep coming from this producer, who is operating at the top of his game.
For me, this is seriously one of his catchiest, feel-good releases to date. In my opinion, Roko has been very inspiring to witness grow as an artist. He puts a lot of thought and care into constructing releases that make listeners happy. I will be playing this single all year, and I look forward to what Roko has in store next.
