After changing up his sound a bit last year for acclaimed cuts such as ‘Be Someone’ and ‘Right Now’, Joachim Pastor set out to spoil his fans again with the sound they know and love. With new single ‘Alaska’ out on Armada Music, the French DJ and producer offers up a refined record that not only typifies his production capabilities in terms of sound, but also sets the stage for a very musically exciting year that will see him release his first-ever studio album.

One of the most vibrant and melodically evocative tracks you’ll find on Joachim Pastor’s forthcoming album, ‘Alaska’ offers a gorgeous twist at every turn and then some. Full-on electronica with a hypnotic beat and melodies that rise and fall like the tide, this is the kind of record any dance music lover could indulge in for hours on end.

Joachim Pastor: “Alaska is a beautiful place. Its wild nature harmonizes with stunning landscapes, but it can also be a brutal environment with extreme weather conditions and dangerous wildlife. I produced my latest single ‘Alaska’ with that duality in mind; the hard and energetic synthesizers are balanced with the soft and more delicate guitars. Join me on this journey and explore the sound of ‘Alaska’.”

Inspired by the works of seminal artists such as Daft Punk, Sonata Arctica and Jean-Michel Jarre, Joachim Pastor’s melodious brand of electronica offers a sense of sophistication not easily found in today’s music world. Designed to make listeners feel with every fiber of their being, his music is an expression of emotion with a danceable twist, endorsed by hundreds of thousands of fans on Spotify alone as well as those who witnessed his performances at the likes of Dour, Tomorrowland, Paleo, Olympia, Solidays, DGTL, Pleinvrees and more.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Alaska’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!

Release Date: January 15th, 2021. Buy Here
