At the tail end of a year of mixed releases from Laidback Luke’s renowned imprint, Italian duo Promise Land debuts on Mixmash with big boots to fill facing 2014 and an edit from the label head himself. The inoffensive commercial dance concoction that is “Sun Shine Down” embodies the better of a more tired musical beast, using Alicia Madison’s exquisite topline as the key differentiator in an otherwise overly-familiar scenario for the festival primed sound. Even with Laidback Luke behind the wheel, the year ahead is sure to call on this dignified icon and his European peers to up the ante on the sound he has held such a striking influence over to date.
