EDM superstar Dillon Francis is taking a break from the California sun to get us dancing and smiling with his new drop, today unleashing his new album Happy Machine into the world.

The dance-heavy project follows on from recent single ‘Reaching Out’ ft. Bow Anderson and continues the mantra of looking forward to the future and getting excited for what’s to come. It’s also heavy on the collabs front as well, with all eight-tracks boasting feature artists in singers Hayley Mary, Aleyna Tilkki, Liza Owen and plenty more.

Sonically, it’s well-prepped for those summertime parties and poolside raves we’ve been deprived off for far too long. From the house-infused chords of ‘Reaching Out’ to the high-octane drum loops of ‘Love Me Better’ and vocal-driven melodies of ‘Bad,’ it’s an album that feels like a celebration of our reaching this point after the craziness the past 18 months, while reminding us that we’ve got just a little bit of partying to catch up on.

He also manages to include some pop seasoning throughout the various cuts, with grooves like ‘Colours’ and ‘In Case I Fall Asleep’ echoing hyper-pop sentiments reminiscent to Charlie XCX while still managing to feel distinctly his own.
