Rising dance-pop duo FAST BOY returns with their infectious new track, ‘Last Summer’, a collaboration with legendary New York DJ and recording artist Moby, featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Sophie and the Giants.
Released today via Virgin Records, ‘Last Summer’ seamlessly blends upbeat, danceable rhythms with poignant, emotionally charged lyrics, capturing the nostalgia and fleeting excitement of a summer romance.
‘Last Summer’ showcases FAST BOY’s signature energetic sound, blending deep melancholic undertones with irresistible pop hooks that make the track both catchy and relatable. The song’s infectious melody draws listeners in, while its lyrics add depth, exploring the bittersweet memories and reflections of a past summer love. The juxtaposition between the vibrant soundscape and the emotional weight of the lyrics creates a unique and powerful listening experience, with the chorus posing the question, “Do you think about last summer, And all the colours? It makes me wonder.
Felix of FAST BOY reflects on working with Moby: “He’s an absolute pioneer of electronic music, always pushing boundaries. It feels surreal to collaborate with someone who’s remained so influential for so many years.” His brother Lucas adds, “Moby’s album Play shaped a generation, including me. We wanted to capture that blend of deep emotion and rave-inspired lightness in ‘Last Summer,’ as a tribute to unforgettable summer moments.”
Known for his iconic hits like ‘Go’ and the groundbreaking Play, Moby adds his signature eclectic style to the track, blending elements of punk and ambient music. His contribution complements FAST BOY’s modern pop sound, giving ‘Last Summer’ an edge of nostalgia and depth.
Adding to the track’s emotional quality is Sophie and the Giants, who further enhance the sound with their harmonizing vocals and make sure to be ”reminding us of the magic of summer” which is the backbone of the song according to Sophie.
‘Last Summer’ follows a string of successful releases such as the #1 airplay track ‘Bad Memories’ with MEDUZA, and multiple collaborations with industry giants like Tiesto, David Guetta, and Topic. This year, the German brother duo continued their meteoric rise, dominating some of the world’s biggest electronic music stages, such as Parookaville, Electric Love, and Tomorrowland. Known for their ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience, the duo has carved out a niche with their emotive yet upbeat tracks.
