DJ Momotaro (feat. Vessa) Kicks in Retro-Futuristic Dance Pop in "Neon Heat"
Dortmund producer and songwriter DJ Momotaro has finally dropped "Neon Heat (feat. Vessa)", an electrifying new single that marries nostalgia with a thoroughly modern sound, on Momodisco Records. The single brings the best of the Italo disco and Euro-dance genres, excitedly held together with the clarity, punch, and sensitivity of contemporary pop production.
Built around a pumping 80s-inspired bassline, a tight, crisp drumming foundation, and shimmering synth hooks, "Neon Heat" perfectly constructs a late-night neon-lit atmosphere. Momotaro's production deftly wraps the track in retro warmth while Vessa's bright, emotionally driven vocal takes it to the next level. Vessa's topline takes the instrumental to a hooky place, telling the story of a spark between strangers under city lights: fleeting, electric, and unforgettable.
The creative process is representative of a modern collaboration: Momataro and Vessa met online, exchanged stems, and eventually collaborated on the common direction, locking in the chorus-driven moment. The final song feels cinematic yet dancefloor-ready; with the vocal synth call and response, and chorus-first arrangement, the music is incredibly memorable. "Neon Heat" is essential listening, demonstrating that while nostalgia can be reimagined, it doesn't lose its spirit.
