2012 has been an important year for both US producer Audien and singer/songwriter Michael S. But mark our words, 2013 will be even bigger! Especially now that it kicks off with ‘Leaving You’, the first of hopefully many more collaborations of these promising talents. Making his debut in 2011 with the massive ‘Mark Me Down’, 2012 turned into a whirlwind of successes for Chicago’s Michael S, from Blake Jarrell collab ‘Say What You Will’, to the solo hits of ‘Broke’ and ‘Rewind’. Nate Rathbun – better known as Audien, walked the fine line of progressive and house, from the warm ‘Eleven Eleven’ and ‘Keep This Memory’ to the rocking ‘Sup’. Don’t forget his last single on Anjunabeats – ‘Wayfarer’, making his debut on the renowned Above & Beyond’s label.

Last year, his experiment with the more poppy side of prog-house resulted in the feel-good ‘These Are The Days’, which now gets an official follow-up in the shape of ‘Leaving You’. Another prime time tune, bursting with energy. Creating a buzz with the one minute preview of ‘Leaving You’, the  track finally comes out on Zouk Recordings – an entity of Armada Music. The track features some magical vocals by Michael S. and the uplifting & melodic chords of Audien with an explosive drop showing exactly why 2013 will be their year. You simply can’t miss this one!
