“Closure” is a strange turn to the indie dance sound scope from a label more commonly associated with euphoric moments and a man taking to festival stages with his arms spread out like an eagle, but the results so far have held their own. For his first ever single, Lyon’s Meeka Kates has embraced the label’s weird and wonderful agenda in the best possible way, adding to a positive start for the quirky sub-label and its obscure choice of branding.

Kates’ soft and instrumental debut balances mesmerizing vocal play and easy rolling beats, giving “Closure” the kind of soul and consistency to give both genuine music aficionados and club-goers alike something to get excited about along the way. To see a brand of Armada’s calibre embracing this sort of genuinely credible indie dance is one thing, but to have talents as pristine and unostentatious as Meeka Kates behind them says everything you need to know about the future of this well-groomed maneuver from the Dutch powerhouse.

Release Date: January 22
