Released 6 Years Ago: Dillon Francis & Martin Garrix – Set Me Free
Two monumental figures within the electronic music industry, Dillon Francis and Martin Garrix couldn’t have better hit the mark on their collaboration ‘Set Me Free’, bringing together the best of both worlds. Back in 2014, when the single was released, both artists were enjoying stellar success; Dillon Francis was gearing up for the release of his massive debut album ‘Money Sucks, Friends Rule’, while Martin Garrix was still riding high off the success of hits such as ‘Gold Skies’ and ‘Tremor’. Included on Dillon Francis’ debut album, ‘Set Me Free’ was a smash dance hit that would be played on shows and festivals for the years to come. Combining quirky melodies and breaks by Dillon Francis and gritty basslines by Martin Garrix, this is a collaboration that will go down in history.
Martin Garrix has risen to global stardom in pop as well as electronic circles – and yet he’s far from being done. Dance music’s freshest talent has headlined festivals around the globe, founded a label and mentored other artists and won the #1 spot in DJ Mag’s Top 100 three times in a row. His passion, ambition, drive and maturity remain unmatched in the world. ‘Animals’, released June 2013 was a breakout success and a game-changer for the music industry. Reaching #1 in the UK and many other territories, it proved that a hard-hitting, dance floor-oriented track could reach pop status, ultimately reaching over a billion streams across several platforms.
By 2017, platinum-selling DJ and producer, host, and creator of TBS Digital’s One Deeper Talks, actor, and all-around nice guy Dillon Francis solidified himself as a modern-day renaissance man. Averaging over 4.6 million monthly Spotify streams, he achieved a string of smashes, including ‘Anywhere’, ‘Candy’, ‘Coming Over’ with Kygo, and ‘Get Low’ with DJ Snake.

Phake and Haley Maze mesmerize in the emotional anthemic number “Yesterdays”
Phake has joined forces with Haley Maze to release ‘Yesterdays’, a track that perfectly encapsulates his signature “Emotional Dance Music” sound.
This is very much in tune with the distinctive ‘Emotional Dance Music’ signature that the promising talent has sculpted over the course of his career, along with the addictive vocals performed by Haley Maze. The skilful display of production and songwriting fulfils the prime intention for this release: create an euphoric track that will latch onto listeners right away.
Phake’s upward trajectory as a budding stalwart in the EDM industry has been fascinating. The enterprising alias has single-mindedly focused on crafting a production motif that keenly settles between dance-pop and upbeat rave-ready music; one not stuck in a static zone, but evolving and continues to impress his global audience. Vocals play a major role in Phake’s recordings, an empowering presence over the anthemic instrumentals— and it couldn’t get any better with Haley Maze taking over this duty. The adept songstress has teamed up alongside festival frontliners, such as W&W, Blasterjaxx, to name a few.
Yesterdays opens with bright and emotionally-charged vocals, ensnaring attention right as the drop arrives. The instrumentation goes for recognizable bass house and Garage house hybrid— an effective blend of styles that is uptempo and melodic, featuring a gritty, droning bassline and fast percussion in synergy. The breakdown gives more acoustic space for the singing, which doubles down on evocative sentiments of longing and desire. From here, the transition sequence effectively picks up the pace for another crescendo, as additive harmonies are introduced during the final drop to kick in with utmost potency.
Phake and Haley Maze’s combined forces on this dance anthem are top-notch (as nearly a million listeners have tuned in thus far), undeniably vouching for the promising year that’s ahead for both creatives.
Check out the release on Spotify below and you can keep up with Phake on Instagram.
