Amy Douglas x Saison IgnitE the Dance Floor with “Dare Myself”

By FusioNostalgia

In the ever-evolving landscape of dance music, two powerhouses have joined forces to create a track that’s bound to set the scene ablaze. Amy Douglas, often hailed as the Queen of Nu Disco, and the London-based deep house duo Saison have come together to deliver “Dare Myself,” a nu-disco anthem that seamlessly blends Amy’s fiery rock sensibility with Saison’s deep, heady grooves. Amy Douglas is no stranger to the limelight. Known for her ferocious and unapologetic presence, she possesses a five-octave vocal range and a rock and roll swagger that has earned her the moniker “The Queen of Nu Disco.” Amy’s songwriting prowess is evident from her collaborations with some of dance music’s biggest names, including Roisin Murphy, Juan MacLean, Treasure Fingers, and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard. Her high-octane rock style and deep roots in New York’s underground music scene make her a unique force in the industry. Amy describes her style as “pure New York Underground,” a fusion of Disco, Post Disco, Salsa, Dub, Punk, Post-punk, and Hip-Hop that’s designed to make you move. Currently, she’s channeling her talents into a solo project, rolling out singles that transform her DJ sets into unmissable rock concerts. On the other side of this collaboration is Saison, the London-based duo that has taken the deep house world by storm. Named the best deep house artist of 2018 and 2019 by Traxsource, Saison has consistently released music on some of the most respected labels globally, including Defected, Toolroom, and Large Music. Their unique sound, a blend of raw, heady, and deeply engaging house music, has earned them significant acclaim. Highlights of their career include their track “Moments,” which held the Beatport deep house No.1 spot for six months, and “Please Don’t Go,” which has amassed over 2.5 million streams on Spotify. Their success has made them in-demand DJs, with tours across the USA, Japan, Europe, and South Africa. “Dare Myself” is the latest product of these two artists’ collaboration, a track born out of Amy’s love for the classics like Evelyn Champagne King and Kashif. Amy wanted to create a modern nu-disco version of iconic tracks such as “I’m In Love,” and with Saison’s expertise, she has done just that. The result is a fresh, bumpin’ nu-disco track that is both a dancefloor filler and an uplifting anthem. Amy’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. From her breakout single “Never Saw It Coming” on DFA, which captured the era’s vibes with its brash and genre-busting sound, to writing “Something More” for Roisin Murphy and collaborating with artists like Juan MacLean and Horse Meat Disco, Amy has carved out a distinct niche in the dance music world. Her project HARD FEELINGS with Joe Goddard from Hot Chip further showcased her versatility and enduring appeal. For Saison, “Dare Myself” marks an exciting foray into nu-disco, a genre that allows them to push their boundaries and explore new sonic territories. Known for their sophisticated grooves and polished production, Saison’s touch on “Dare Myself” adds a layer of depth and elegance to Amy’s raw energy. Together, Amy Douglas and Saison have created something special. “Dare Myself” not only celebrates the rich traditions of disco but also brings a contemporary twist that resonates with today’s dance music aficionados. It’s a track that encapsulates the essence of both artists, combining Amy’s powerful voice and evocative lyrics with Saison’s smooth, intricate production. This collaboration is more than just a meeting of minds; it’s a celebration of the vibrant and ever-evolving dance music scene.
