Continuing his remarkable 2025, Jason Busteed has dropped yet another amazing single with the euphoric ‘Paradise.’

Released on his own label Lefty Shades Records, ‘Paradise’ is a joyous dance pop track packed with clever production tricks from the Cork-based DJ. Right from the off the vocals are entrancing featuring excellent layers of texture thanks to Busteed’s smart use of effects, namely delay. The implementation of vocal chops as part of the beat is inspired, adding to the already fantastically funky rhythm. Once the bouncy, sun-soaked chord progression kicks in there’s no stopping the feel-good energy from flowing. From the first second to the last ‘Paradise’ makes you smile and dream of days on the beach in the sun.

Busteed is coming off the back of his biggest release yet with ‘Slip Away’ receiving over 15,000 streams on Spotify and earning acclaim from outlets such as YourEDM and Earmilk. As well as being a demon in the studio, he’s also enjoyed an illustrious career behind the decks with over 2 decades of experience. His skills in production and DJing have rightfully earnt him performances at the home of house music, Ibiza. Busteed has performed at some of Ibiza’s most iconic venues including Café Mambo, Bora Bora Beach, and Ocean Drive. To call him accomplished feels like an understatement.

Jason Busteed is an already well-established name but he’s forever growing bigger and stronger within the dance music scene. ‘Paradise’ is a wonderful display of his production chops that is sure to bring joy to crowds around the world. Summer may be over, but the summer vibes aren’t gone, and ‘Paradise’ is here to bring some warmth to the winter.
