Popping Up: Conrad Sewell
Get to know the Aussie singer with the serious pop-rock pipes.

We’ve been fans of breakout Australian singer Conrad Sewell ever since we heard the Adam Lambert-level rock-pop wail of his debut single “Hold Me Up” a few months ago. And wouldn’t you know it, the song still holds up! So we’re excited to premiere a remix of that towering track by DJ-producer-musician Slaptop.

The California multi-hyphenate made waves last year with the fizzy bedroom techno of “Sunrise,” and for this remix, he kept the sunny vibes intact. Slaptop loops the “Hold me up!” refrain overtop a rubbery house beat, resulting in an exuberant club track that’s equal parts soul and sequins.

Hear it below.
