Around The World is a tune that was inspired by how many times we all come together to make music even if it’s remote these days. I’ve been lucky to travel a lot because of music to many different countries and cultures, and what’s so cool is that people in our industry and with our interests all sort of just, speak the same language and get along. When Boyan sent me this track, this was how I immediately felt.

THE RELEASE
Two of the modern funk masters unite again to make your head spin.
Producer/multi-instrumentalist Boyan & singer Nic Hanson return for their 2nd joint single, “Around The World,” after the previous “Something” got love from Spotify’s Nu Funk, Deezer’s Fresh Soul & 1k+ airplays on radio stations across the globe.
Their new tune’s title is a nod to Daft Punk’s legendary track, but sonically takes things to another level – as Boyan & Nic’s approach to funk is incredibly uplifting & full of feel-good energy. Make sure to put your dancing shoes on, as the punchy drums, funky basslines & playful synths won’t leave you sitting for too long, with vocals effortlessly flowing between singing & rapping.
