"Strong" is not the first instance of collaboration between producers Norman Doray and Arno Cost. But the release out last week on Size Records might be one of their most memorable. Both boasting robust experience in creating melodies that create excitement on the dance floor and when delivered via headphones, "Strong" has me hoping they will continue to work together more often. The track's superhero intentions are delivered through funky theme-like synths and my favorite part, the creation of a layered backdrop against rallying vocals.
The video for "Strong" takes these intentions to another level, creating characters for both Cost and Doray as they compete in a hyped up battle for the ages in a fittingly retro scene. Both DJ's have given us their outlook on how they best stay "strong," given through the lens of the video's added story line. Check out the track and the video below.
