Layton Giordani, Tiga, Audion — “Let’s Go Dancing”

Layton Girodani has been on an absolute tear the past few months, spotlighted last month by MP3 MAG for his electrifying remix of deadmau’s iconic hit “Strobe.” Now this techno technician is at it again with a warehouse rave-primed banger, flipping Tiga and Audion’s classic tune, “Let’s Go Dancing.” At this point, Layton has far beyond proved that he is a master of his craft and a leading artist in the global techno landscape. This track cements that notion even further.
