Immediately kicking off with a punching bassline, ‘Six Shots’ is a sprightly offering that features propelling percussive elements, a commanding vocal cut, and a feelgood house flair. Replete with four-on-the-floor sensibilities, from start-to-finish, the track audibly boasts a propulsively driving ambiance and hard-hitting sensibilities. Building a transmittable fire throughout its entirety, BIJOU’s latest offering oozes with an unquenchable groove and infectious energy that is primed to take over dancefloors all over the world.
“I wrote this record 8 months ago with the intention of it lighting up the festival stages all summer long. It did just that with better reaction than I even anticipated with it also lighting up the clubs. The goal was to write an infectious baseline to get every person on the dance floor shuffling their asses off. The steel drum lead gives it an island summer vibe to compliment the short but sweet vocal loop. The vocal gives off confidence and I wanted to give every person that same feeling letting them know that they’re meant to be here and are the truth. I’m super stoked for this one to finally hit the airwaves and spread worldwide.”
