GEORGE DANIEL REMIXES SALUTE’S “GO!”
SALUTE SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR THE SINGLE
HEADING ON WORLD TOUR THIS FALL
salute enlisted George Daniel of the 1975 for two remixes of TRUE MAGIC’s “go!” featuring Nakamura Minami. Alongside the new offerings, salute also shares a new music video that sees Minami and salute making the most of a color-soaked excursion through Japanese late-night karaoke rooms and gaming arcades. The single remixes and accompanying music video highlight salute’s high-paced, climactic, yet collaborative production style that has taken this summer’s festival season by storm.
salute shares about the new remixes, “My good pal George Daniel has made 2 remixes of ‘go!,’ they’re both unreal and I’m so pleased to be sharing them with you. The man is a real visionary and I’m a huge fan of his so it’s a proper honour having him putting his spin(s) on it. Moody 2-step garage on one side, dark + rolling techno on the other. enjoy xx”
George Daniel, known for his production work with his own band The 1975, as well as Charli xcx, The Japanese House & Caroline Polachek released his debut solo track “Screen Cleaner” last month, which The FACE described as a “hard-hitting house banger” and The Guardian labeled “distinctly naughty”, while he has been previewing his new material throughout the summer, including appearances with Charli xcx at The Levels at Glastonbury, Boiler Room New York, Ibiza’s Amnesia and The Floor with Jamie xx at Venue MOT in London. He is also heading up dh2 – a brand new electronic imprint he is spearheading at renowned independent label Dirty Hit.
salute is set to embark on a world tour this Fall beginning in North America with stops in Los Angeles, Montreal and New York, and closing out with Miami’s Three Points Festival. The tour continues across the EU and UK with stops in Berlin, Paris, London and more before kicking off the Australian and New Zealand leg next February.

salute’s new album TRUE MAGIC was received to critical acclaim with Pitchfork noting, “The UK dance producer’s effervescent debut glows from within” and Interview Magazine adding, “salute’s radiant beats merge with vocals provided by the likes of royalty like Rina Sawayama and Empress Of.” The album takes aesthetic and auditory inspiration from old Japanese car adverts, which salute spent hours trawling through YouTube archives to find. They developed a concept for the album of driving an old JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) car in a race called TRUE MAGIC. The album features Disclosure, Rina Sawayama, Empress Of, Karma Kid, Léa Sen, among others.
salute has continued to build on their impressive live catalog, including a set at Coachella’s Do Lab stage and Boiler Room Melbourne. They made their debut in Asia to an incredible reception, selling out shows in Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo. The shows were b2b with Yung Singh and the Tokyo show saw Rina Sawayama show up as a surprise guest when salute played their collaborative track “saving flowers” to a crowd for the first time. salute has also recently performed with Disclosure in Colombia and Berlin, Mall Gab in London, Hudson Mohawke in LA and supported Jungle on their US tour. This past summer salute performed at Four Tet & Friends Festival and at the Elsewhere rooftop b2b with DJ Seinfeld in NY before heading on their full European run with stops through Manchester, London, Paris, and Barcelona among many others. They also recently performed at Sónar Festival in Barcelona and Glastonbury in the UK (b2b Joy Anonymous), and have III Points Festival in Miami still to come.
