Leave it to Dzeko to discover dance music potential in unexpected places. The Canadian producer, renowned for seamlessly blending pop and EDM, has transformed the rock foundations of fellow Canadians MENEW into festival-ready energy with “Never Us.” The original collaboration already validated Dzeko’s pop instincts, making waves on U.S. dance radio with its melodic appeal. However, it’s BYOR’s remix that truly showcases the versatility of MENEW’s sound, morphing the Grammy-nominated alt-rockers’ track into a high-energy anthem filled with pulsating drums and catchy synth hooks. For MENEW, a trio of classically trained brothers who have performed alongside U2 and appeared on Letterman, this electronic evolution feels instinctive. They’ve been experimenting with dance music since launching their Brothers side project at Cannes in 2017. With Dzeko’s influence and BYOR’s remix elevating “Never Us” into serious club territory, these former rock purists may have just uncovered their most dynamic sound to date.
