Spanish icon D-Formation returns with a powerful reimagining of one of his standout album tracks. Out soon on his own Beatfreak Recordings imprint, ‘Distance Shores’ receives a fresh Club Version treatment, tailor-made for late-night dancefloors and immersive DJ sets.

Originally featured on his acclaimed 2023 album ‘Nine Forms,’ the track stood out for its emotive depth and cinematic elegance. Now, with this new release, D-Formation invites listeners to experience ‘Distance Shores’ through a different lens—keeping the emotional foundation intact while adding rhythmic momentum, groove, and club-ready tension.

The ‘Club Version’ is a masterclass in melodic progression: lush atmospheres and hypnotic leads unravel over tight percussion and driving low-end. Where the original leaned toward introspection, this version is built for movement—without sacrificing its soul.

As the head of Beatfreak Recordings and a pioneer in the progressive house scene for over two decades, D-Formation continues to evolve his sound while staying true to the artistic integrity that has earned him global respect. ‘Distance Shores’ stands as another shining example of his ability to bridge emotion and energy, storytelling and functionality.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Distance Shores (Club Version)’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!

Release Date: August 15th, 2025. Buy Here
