Röyksopp – ‘Running To The Sea’ (Villa remix)

When was the last time you listened to Röyksopp? The Norwegian dance duo were huge in 2006 when their debut Melody AM came out and they made a couple of reasonable records since then in 2008’s The Understanding (always have a soft spot for ‘Only This Moment’, 2009’s Junior I don’t think I’ve listened to 2010’s Senior.

Anyway, the Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland are back with a new song ‘Running To The Sea’ with vocals from Susanne Sundfør, their first single since 2011. It was a number 1 in Norway earlier this year so it’s getting a proper release on December 16th. As part of that campaign, there’s a Villa remix of the track which is more up my street thanks to its disco stylings.

Belgian producer Villa has made a couple of great remixes of the years: one for Ali Love is a particular favourite
