Hardly collaborative acquaintances, Tropix and Wyle follow their May 2019 remix of Niiko, SWAE, and subtoll’s “Hold Tight” with an upbeat cover single of one of the radio’s favorite cuts currently on rotation, Dua Lipa‘s “Don’t Start Now.” The animated spin off bears a bold piano backbone that flavorfully accentuates the vocal contributions of featured artist, SHEE. In stripping Dua Lipa’s original of its retro-inflection and high-octane bass line, Tropix and Wyle create room for their own electronically influence and apply it with animation.

The breakdowns are the inarguable highlights of Tropix and Wyle’s collaboration: piano chords swell in a tonally bright cacophony of sound, providing “Don’t Start Now” with energetic rushes that capture Tropix and Wyle’s synergy with a spirit distinctive from that of the original.
