Belgian producer The Magician, previously one half of revered Balearic disco duo Aeroplane, is this week’s highest new entry in the British charts at Nº 5 with the wonderful, upbeat, groovy dance track Sunlight. Close your eyes…and it’s still summer. If you’re looking for a a mood-shifting auditory pick me up today – this is it!

Sunlight is a wonderful nu-disco, pop/club-house, indie-dance track that will have you up on the dance floor in minutes. It’s unashamedly summery and the music video is quite hilarious. The vocals, by Years & Years singer Olly Alexander, are floating and energetic, they take you away on a summer wave of sunshine.
The Magician is the alias of talented DJ/Producer, Stephen Fasano, and even his bio makes you smile, here’s the introduction: One night not so long ago, he appeared from a place between space and time. Apparently he stepped into this world, materializing in a cloud of crystal stars and soft pink smoke. Some claim he’s a former airline pilot who crashed an afterparty – some say it’s all just an illusion, a well performed hoax.
Every month he releases his DJ mix tracks, Magic Tapes, on Soundcloud – he’s up to 45 so far and has been gaining a cult following of disco, pop and house fans. He had an incredibly busy touring schedule throughout this year – it seems that everywhere The Magician DJs people come under his spell. Most people will probably know of him for his killer remixes, particularly his re-work of Lykke Li’s I Follow Rivers in 2011 (36 Million views on Youtube) and Clean Bandit’s Rather Be earlier this year.
The Magician was recently signed to Parlophone / Warner Records and made his label debut with the single When The Night is Over. This second single Sunlight – already storming up the charts – looks to be an even bigger hit. We look forward to much more ‘Sunlight’ from this great producer. 🙂
