Ashley Paul and Luv Foundation (UK) have teamed up with BootlegBoys to drop their latest summer hit, ‘Dance (U Gotta)’. This release follows the success of their popular track ‘Hearts Up’, which continues to be heavily featured on platforms like EARMILK, EDMHouseNetwork, and We Rave You. Additionally, remixes by Robbie Rivera and Lizzie Curious have been enjoying airtime on Sirius XM BPM by StoneBridge and Kiss FM by DJ S.K.T.
‘Dance (U Gotta)’ is a reimagining of BootlegBoys’ 1994 classic ‘Euro Friendly’, originally released on the Labello Dance label. Mark from Luv Foundation (UK) reminisces about his first encounter with the track, saying, “I remember going to TRADE back in 1995, I was only 16 years old and heard this track played by the legendary late Tony De Vit in his set, I remember going into the record exchange shop in Soho, London and grabbing a compilation album called FLYING HIGH where the track was featured, it has been a huge part of my life and DJ sets and I regularly use the Original for GYM sets and cardio sets to this day”.
Recognizing the enduring appeal of ‘Euro Friendly’, Mark reached out to Keith Mac for permission to rework the track. With the green light to add new vocals, Ashley Paul and Lucas Marx introduced a new verse and refined the original hook. The updated version captures a fresh yet nostalgic vibe that is sure to engage listeners.
The creative direction for the artwork, social media, and lyric video for ‘Dance (U Gotta)’ was led by Mark from Luv Foundation (UK). His vision of using stickmen dancers to evoke a nostalgic feel was skillfully realized by Sean Keepin, enhancing the track’s retro-modern appeal.
