Thando Stirs Dancefloors with New Soulful Single “Want You”
NYC-based DJ and producer Thando has been stirring up dancefloors with his groovy productions and infectious live mixes. Now, he’s elevating the scene with his latest single, “Want You,” out now via Fool’s Gold Records.
Following the success of his electrifying summer tune with Teo Mandrelli, “Let’s Go Together,” which was heavily supported by like-minded industry mainstays Jamie Jones and Purple Disco Machine, Thando is making another significant mark with this stellar new tune.
“Want You” is a vibrant track that impeccably fuses dynamic beats with soulful melodies and an irresistible groove. The single showcases Thando’s knack for intertwining various genres and soundscapes, combining funk-infused basslines with disco-inspired samples. Effortlessly, Thando captivates listeners and energizes dance floors across the globe through every beat of this brilliant new single.
Reflecting on the new single, Thando shares,“‘Want You’ feels like the beginning of a new chapter for me. For so long I’ve chased radio and streaming success, and this song is my first departure from that. It feels like the most authentic version of myself and I couldn’t be happier with how it has turned out.”
Thando’s musical roots are owed to his New York upbringing and deep South African family influences, a combination that has helped him carve out a unique space in the electronic music landscape.
His career exponentially flourished following the release of “Special”, a collaboration with Mat Joe that was also released on Fool’s Gold Records. The single resonated so much with listeners that dance music prodigies such as Diplo, Claptone, A-Trak, Ferreck Dawn, David Penn, and more featured the striking tune in their sets. The top hit was also consistently played across major EDM-focused radio stations like Sirius XM and Kiss FM.
His many notable collaborations with artists like Duck Sauce and Coco & Breezy and composing a Tiffany & Co. campaign directed by Mario Sorrenti also demonstrate Thando’s artistic versatility and many talents. His previous releases on other esteemed labels such as Spinnin’ and Selected have cemented his reputation as an innovative artist, and now with “Want You,” Thando continues to push boundaries and solidify his status as an artist to watch.
