A lot of artists – myself included – had a lot of fun in the studio this year, and the amazing output reflects that.

    “Cedric and I had been talking about doing a track together for some time. We got a vibe going during the lockdown on a more chilled note with clubs not being open. The end result was Playing Games.”

    Tom Staar

    “I’ve played a lot of Tom’s records in my sets over the years, so collaborating felt totally natural. We’ve created two tracks, and the first is ‘Playing Games’, which I love. It’s definitely on a more mellow vibe for me and something to play poolside, but we’ll be returning with a naughty peak-time club record later in the year.”

    Tom Staar & Dan Soleil collaborate on ‘We Found Love’

    UK DJ/producer Tom Staar collaborates with vocalist Dan Soleil on a brand-new release, “We Found Love” which is currently available to stream/download via Armada Music.

    Featuring thunderous bass alongside Dan Soleil’s emotionally charged lyrics, “We Found Love” is a captivating release with underground club laden tones.  The track follows a string of hit records that Tom Staar has recently churned out, which include “Feel Something,” “Body Beat,” and “U + I.”

    Tom Staar feat. Dan Soleil – We Found Love

    “I think I originally came up with the melody back in December 2019, but I never worked out what kind of record it was going to be. When Dan Soleil sent me over some songs he’d written, I went through some ideas I’d sketched out before and remembered this one. His vocal fitted perfectly and the track came together pretty fast after that.” 

    Tom Staar

    “‘We Found Love’ is a song about finding a true connection, right in the middle of chaos. Everybody is looking for love, sometimes so desperately that we forget ourselves. This song is about that desperate love and holding on to each other, no matter what.”
