Martin Garrixs commitment to shining the spotlight on the worlds most exciting new electronic talent continues with the signing of Los Angeles artist LIONEs gorgeous new single Leave This Place

Fusing a myriad of sounds from synth-pop to indie and electro, his eclectic sound blends powerful pop sensibility with cutting-edge electronic trickery to great effect. After playing a guest mix on Garrixs Beats 1 show, its now time for LIONE to step into the STMPD family in a more official way.

‘This song is extremely special to me because I wrote it during a particularly difficult time in my life, and Im extremely grateful that Martijn could feel the emotion and believed it in it so early on. ‘

His support and positive energy has been extremely inspiring to me, and I feel so proud to be the first solo artist coming out on STMPD RCRDS. I hope you guys will be able to feel everything I put into this song, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me, the STMPD RCRDS family, and Martijn.

Leave This Place is drenched in lush, futuristic textures. Its widescreen sound is packed full of bright and breezy melody, with pulsing chords underpinning stunning lead lines in the intro. Sweet vocals glide into play as the songs groove develops, with a chilled two-step beat alternating with a 4/4 rhythm while gorgeous vocal harmonies fill the edges of the stereo field. Huge synth arpeggios permeate the drop, and while its got the makings of a big radio hit, its full and colorful sound really comes to life on a big soundsystem. Basically, its got everything Garrix looks for in a killer track and after being teased in his recent ADE performance live stream and on Snapchat, it sounds like his fans are very excited about this one.
