Dzeko laid a collaborative claim to one of summer 2018’s largest hits in the Tiësto-assisted “Jackie Chan,” a hallmark of the Canadian beat-breaker’s developing solo career, a project that’s been in motion since 2016. Evidence that Dzeko’s individual initiative continues to unfurl with a momentum that demands notice, Dzeko’s latest single “Don’t Stop” arrives as an electro house-styled playlist staple.
A temperate introduction leads listeners through the initial seconds of the song, before giving way to a dusky bass line that’s both indulgently dark and slightly grittier than the average low-pitched house bassline. “Don’t Stop’s” electro elements exert a necessary and smooth balance between grounded bass and melodically ascendant synths, proving to be components that lend an energetic buoyancy to the track. A sexy contribution from Dzeko and Brazilian dance producer Liu, “Don’t Stop” will satisfy listeners’ collective taste for fresh material from the “Body” remixer, but will simultaneously prompt a desire for more new music from the breakout solo favorite, who never fails to hit a sonic sweet spot.
