Hotel Garuda, a DJ act whose upbeat remixes have garnered them support by acts like EDX, Sam Feldt, Thomas Jack, and Felix Cartal, is young and hungry. Comprised of Moving Castle royalty Manila Killa and Candle Weather, Hotel Garuda has been burning up the college EDM scene with left-field drops, sugary sweet melodies, and their energetic presence behind the decks.
Their most recent remix, a luscious, ethereal, hands in the air take on Kiiara’s “Feels,” elicits the kind of butterflies in your stomach that are reminiscent of falling in love. It’s a somersaulting, nimble work of art layered with vocal harmonies that float, arpeggios that bubble, and a use of headspace that boosts the track’s omniscience without sacrificing its electric intimacy. Hotel Garuda literally wants you to sway and swoon and feel feelings. And after witnessing this track’s debut back in August during their most recent stop in D.C., I can honestly say they’ve succeeded in spades.
Thank goodness this is now available to the people.
