The New York and Manchester-based talents collaborate with the legendary house vocalist on Jamie Jones’ imprint.
Rising star AJ Christou and Canadian dancefloor powerhouse A-Trak have teamed up for a deep, dreamy label debut on Jamie Jones’ Paradise Music, featuring Chicago house legend Robert Owens on vocals. This collaboration marks an impressive start to the year for the label and further cement the pair’s status as innovators in the global house music scene.
Following a stellar 2024, where AJ Christou made his highly-anticipated Space Miami debut at Jones’ Paradise event and hosted his own label showcase at Hi Ibiza, the talented producer is kicking off 2025 with renewed energy. Partnering with A-Trak, the New York-based luminary whose illustrious 25-year career includes Coachella performances, BBC Radio 1 Essential Mixes, and global anthems as part of Duck Sauce with Armand Van Helden, the duo delivers yet another stunning record.
Their latest offering, ‘Escape,’ is a follow-up to their successful 2024 collaboration ‘Sway’ on A-Trak’s iconic Fool’s Gold Records. Once again, the pair demonstrates their ability to craft genre-defining tracks that blend classic house elements with cutting-edge production. ‘Escape’ opens with a smooth, funky vibe, driven by seductive house rhythms, weighty drums, and the unmistakable allure of Robert Owens’ soulful vocals. On the flip side, the ‘Temple Dub’ mix takes the track to a deeper dimension. Owens’ evocative vocals take center stage, gliding over a nimble bassline, crisp percussion, and sizzling, atmospheric synths.
With ‘Escape,’ AJ Christou and A-Trak have delivered a standout release that not only sets the tone for Paradise Music’s exciting year ahead but also solidifies their place among house music’s leading figures. Add Robert Owens’ iconic vocal presence into the mix, and you have a track that is destined to become a modern classic, lighting up dancefloors and sound systems worldwide.
