British producer Mickey Moonlight has recently released his debut full-length album The Time Axis Manipulation Corporation, which features the synth-heavy "Close to Everything," which Moonlight premiered on an earlier EP.

While his album has garnered support from DJs all over the world, it was important to Mickey Moonlight that the release was accessible enough to play at home. "'Close to Everything' is one of two songs on the album featuring the amazing George Lewis, Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow. This is the closest to the dancefloor that the album ventures. It was important to me that the songs were for home listening, not clubs," he says.

Random Notes

"Close to Everything" got its vibe from the guest star. "I love George's soulful and impassioned vocals. To me the song could be about non-local correlation and the quantum interconnectivity of all matter throughout all time-space," Mickey says.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
