Lucas & Steve finish their biggest year to date with the stunning club gem ‘Adagio For Strings’. It’s a huge tune delivered here by the famed Dutch duo, featuring the famous string melody in an ecstatic piece of dance music, courtesy of the guy’s trademark feel good sound. ‘Adagio For Strings’ underlines how Lucas & Steve are able to incorporate their uplifting sound to a wide variety of records. As if they wanted to celebrate 2018’s highlights, the energy bursts out of this record, going all out with this blazing piece of dance music, featuring the famous string melodies alongside jubilant chords and a hard hitting future house drop.

“We’ve been raised with classical music, Lucas’ mother even is a pianist, so this music has always been an integral part of us. Listening to the original ‘Adagio For Strings’ by Samuel Barber really inspired us to make our own version. The chords are so magical, and to add our own sound to it felt very natural – definitely a joy and honor to build something special with these melodies! So yeah, a match made in heaven if you ask us!”

 

2018 saw Lucas & Steve perform much praised performances at festivals all over the world, from Miami Music Week and their return to Tomorrowland’s mainstage to gigs at Mysteryland, touring China (including playing the Creamfields festival there), Sensation Jakarta and of course the Amsterdam Dance Event, where they also hosted their own soldout event Skyline Sessions.
