In October 2015, when I first played Saveus’ Levitate Me in my radio show, not much was known about this young Danish producer. I only found out that he had a small studio in a building where they used to pack meat. And that Levitate Me was his debut single.

A year and a half later, the track (albeit 10 seconds shorter) is re-released on a major label. Let’s hope their marketing power makes it a huge hit this time. Because it’s still the same great, euphoric song it was in 2015. A dancefloor banger with soulful vocals, driving beats, experimental arrangements, gospel and pure pop melodies. In short: it’s great!

(PS for the record: by now we know Saveus’s real name is Martin Hoberg Hedegaard. He won the first Danish series of ‘The X Factor’ in 2008, when he was only 15 years old)
