The exciting UK dance duo of Mufasa and Hypeman have teamed up with the DJ/producer collective, Dopamine, for a brand new track that has had viral success – which has garnered over a billion streams, shot to the Top 5 in the UK and been certified platinum with over 750,000 UK sales – the new single, “Weekend” out now via Ministry of Sound/RCA Records.
Today, the new music video has been released, which reveals the duo traveling back in time to an 80s house party with a special throwback performance by Dopamine. The track also offers some nostalgia by including a reworking of Madonna’s 80s pop classic, “Holiday.”
Mufasa said: “We wanted to do something different and pay homage to Madonna with the 80s classic song, ‘Holiday’ but with our little twist. We decided to declare the weekend a Holiday because who doesn’t love the weekend?”
Hypeman said: “We always try to be better than our last and with this new single, I know we did just that. Creating the weekend was not only fun for us, but relatable for everyone around the world.”
Dopamine vocalist Sam Harper added: “It feels like the right time to bring joy to the world by getting everybody back on the dancefloor. We’ve been working hard to capture that energy in our records and can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions.”
Dopamine DJ Ethan Porte added: “I can’t wait to start playing this one in my sets. If ‘Friday’ is anything to go by, people are going to love this one.”
