Where Disco Meets Indie Rock Dreaminess

Muscle Memory has always been about blurring the lines, and their latest release, ‘Get Lost’, is no exception. Composed of Steven Reker and Michael Tapper, two indie rockers-turned-DJs, this track feels like an indie rock anthem that stepped into a time machine and landed on a neon-lit dancefloor in 1984. The magic happens when those indie sensibilities collide with an expertly-crafted synthpop structure, making for a sound that’s as emotional as it is irresistible.

What stands out is the track’s ability to evoke the spirit of Fleetwood Mac's dreamy pop moments but with a twist — think of it as if Stevie Nicks was fronting a Giorgio Moroder production. The shimmering synths and gliding basslines wrap around you like a warm breeze, but it’s the infectious rhythm that gets you hooked, pulling you into an irresistible groove. The dub remix from Midnight Magic adds extra mystery and sparkle, while the duo's acid-infused rework takes things into a grittier, more unpredictable territory.

As veterans of the indie and electronic scenes, Reker and Tapper are masters of taking the best of both worlds and merging them seamlessly. They’ve earned their place as stalwarts of the NYC nightlife, and ‘Get Lost’ is another step forward in their ongoing quest to shape what modern dance music can sound like. It's nostalgic, yet fresh — a track that will have you lost in the groove all night.
