Techno producer METODI is back with a powerful new release: a bold, bass-heavy rework of "Closer To Me", the iconic 2004 track by JD Davis. Dropping July 4th on METODI’s own label, Set About Music, the track channels peak-time techno energy while staying true to the emotional core that made the original so memorable.

But this isn’t just a remix—it’s the result of a meaningful collaboration between METODI and JD Davis, an artist who played a key role in shaping METODI’s musical journey. What started as a connection quickly evolved into mutual respect and creative chemistry.

Known for blending genres—fusing peak-time techno with melodic elements, psy trance, and more—METODI has captured the attention of fans around the world. With over 150,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, support from heavyweights like Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Oliver Heldens, and Enrico Sangiuliano, and releases on top labels like Drumcode, METODI has cemented his place as one of the most exciting names in the scene. He’s also the founder of Set About Music, a label that continues to push the boundaries of techno.

JD Davis, the Belgian singer-songwriter with an unmistakable voice, made a lasting impact on the electronic music scene with hits like "Closer To Me" and his iconic collaborations with David Guetta (The World Is Mine, In Love With Myself). Known for his emotional delivery and boundary-pushing style, JD Davis has become a staple in the genre. His 2023 comeback with Blue Monday, alongside Oliver Heldens and DJs From Mars, earned support from heavyweights like Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, and Guetta himself.

Now, JD Davis revisits one of his most beloved tracks—"Closer To Me"—this time reimagined by METODI. The result is a powerful, emotionally driven techno anthem built for today’s dancefloors, while staying true to the heart of the original.

"Closer To Me" is ready to bridge the gap between past and present in one unforgettable release.
