Barry Can’t Swim eleases new single, ‘Dance Dance Dance’, via Atlantic Records, drawing inspiration from the golden era of French touch.
‘Dance Dance Dance’, following the release of ‘Return To Bhibo’. The track sees the Scottish producer step beyond the club into more flamboyant territory, blending shimmering synths, a playful keytar and euphoric French vocals to reveal another bold evolution of his sound.
Marking his second release in partnership with Atlantic Records, ‘Dance Dance Dance’ follows a whirlwind run in the U.S. that saw Joshua Mainnie – the name behind the Barry Can’t Swim moniker – walk KidSuper’s SS27 runway in Miami, be named Scotland’s ‘World Cup Champion’ for Scotland v Brazil, perform back-to-back with Brazilian DJ Mochakk at the legendary Club Space in Miami, and shut down the streets of Brooklyn with a surprise pop-up party.
