The long weekend is so close that we can smell it, and our local madman L D R U is here to help you kickstart the three-day bender with the warm and inviting vibes of ‘Next To You’.

An established solo artist and one half of Carmada, L D R U has been causing club chaos for the past few years, and his growing presence has even led to his work being remixed by the Godfathers of Australian Dance Music, The Meeting Tree. Now, he keeps the good times flowing with another banger in collaboration with Savoi. Featuring sing-a-long vocals and plenty of bouncing synths, we can see ‘Next To You’ becoming a poolside and festival favourite when the warmer weather arrives once more.

L D R U will be hitting the road once again this July on the ‘Keeping Score’ tour – supporting his single of the same name which is so fucking catchy it hurts. Listen to ‘Next To You’ below and grab a coconut cocktail:
