Earlier in the week, Martin Garrix announced that his STMPD RCRDS imprint was finally ready to start releasing music from artists other than himself, teasing the label’s debut single from up and comer LIONE. His new track “Leave This Place” is available today for streaming and download, and with it, the producer offers up a magical Porter Robinson inspired track for his first release on STMPD.
“Leave This Place” utilizes an ethereal production that balances airy female vocals and stunning melodies layered over energetic rhythms. Over the course of five minutes, LIONE crafts a magical sound with twinkling synth motifs, punchy drum hits and classic video game arpeggios, delivering a solid dance pop effort along the way.
“Leave This Place” is a strong debut release for STMPD RCRDS and is definitely a tune that will help establish LIONE as a producer to watch. Though the single takes its fair share of influence from Porter Robinson’s established sound, it still has plenty of charm to hold your attention and is a worthy addition to Martin Garrix’s label.
“Leave This Place” is now available as a free download, which can be found here.
