London producer Dan Snaith aka Caribou has revealed his new single “Volume”, based on M|A|R|R|S’ 1987 global hit “Pump Up the Volume,” a track forever cemented into the history of UK dance music.
The track is out today, July 30 and comes accompanied by a music video directed by Richard Kenworthy of Shynola. Get it here.
Speaking about it, Caribou says:
“‘Pump up the Volume’ was the first time in my life I heard electronic music – sitting in front of the family stereo system listening to the top 40 countdown on the radio when i was a kid. It completely blew my mind – it sounded like something from another world. it’s stuck with me ever since – i always wanted to rework it in some way. i didn’t consciously think about it when i started working on my track but i think there’s something really nice about having gone right back to the very beginning in making this.”
