For fans who can\u2019t wait, an exclusive Hern\u00e1n Catt\u00e1neo &amp; Mercurio remix drops on Beatport as early as August 8, 2025.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7lb6JChtOy2fGoYk8RSnTe?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Stevens, a founding member of the iconic Wollongong trio Infusion, has been shaping Australia\u2019s electronic landscape since the nineties. Known for hits like their ARIA Award-winning Girls Can Be Cruel and the acclaimed album Six Feet Above Yesterday, Infusion pushed electronic music into new emotional spaces. Now, with &#8216;Dust&#8217;, Stevens takes that legacy and stretches it into something even more immersive.<\/p>\n<p>Listening to &#8216;Dust&#8217; feels like stepping into a dream. The opening arpeggiated keys are lush and cinematic, instantly painting a picture of open roads and endless horizons. Imagine yourself behind the wheel of a vintage 1981 Dodge Diplomat, driving through the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales as light synths and airy snares wrap around you like mist. The textures feel tangible, the production warm yet expansive. It\u2019s electronic music that\u2019s shoegaze at heart, blurring genres in ways that only Jamie Stevens can.<\/p>\n<p>The track truly comes alive when Brooke Singer\u2019s vocals enter. Her delicate yet powerful delivery floats above the layers, delivering lines that are both intimate and existential: \u201cCould I reach you when you\u2019re gone, across the borderline? I\u2019ve been dreaming of this place\u2026\u201d It\u2019s a symbiotic pairing &#8211; her voice and Jamie\u2019s production intertwining to create something cinematic and deeply human. Brooke, who also penned the lyrics, captures exactly the mood Stevens envisioned.<\/p>\n<p>Jamie explains, \u201cI was aiming for a widescreen, immersive feel; something with a vastness or \u2018epicness.\u2019 It was a conscious nod to shoegaze and that sense of being enveloped sonically. The idea of being a speck of dust fits perfectly, almost an allusion to existentialism.\u201d And that\u2019s exactly what the song delivers &#8211; an expansive yet personal meditation on existence, wrapped in shimmering electronica.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of Hern\u00e1n Catt\u00e1neo will get a double treat. Longtime collaborator and supporter of Stevens, Catt\u00e1neo teamed up with Mercurio to reimagine &#8216;Dust&#8217; for the dancefloor. Their remix, dropping August 8, injects the track with their signature rolling grooves while remaining faithful to its emotional core. It\u2019s no surprise &#8211; Catt\u00e1neo even invited Stevens to perform live at his massive 15,000-capacity shows in C\u00f3rdoba last year. This remix feels like the continuation of that creative relationship, with Catt\u00e1neo giving &#8216;Dust&#8217; his unmistakable \u201ccruise control\u201d vibe for club audiences.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8216;Dust&#8217; is just the beginning. On Beginner\u2019s Guide To Floating, Stevens finally delivers the solo album he\u2019s been dreaming about. He admits, \u201cI\u2019d always wanted to make a solo album separately to Infusion, but until now, I was never quite sure what direction to take. As a solo artist, I\u2019m known for club-ready singles and remixes. I was very conscious of not wanting to make a strictly club-connected album. There are richer themes, textures, and ideas to explore and the album format was the best place to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If &#8216;Dust&#8217; is any indication, the album will be an exploration of texture, emotion, and space rather than just beats per minute. It\u2019s music that\u2019s made for more than just clubs &#8211; it\u2019s made for late-night drives, quiet reflection, and cinematic moments. And yet, Stevens\u2019 roots in electronic dance remain intact, giving his work a rhythmic pulse that keeps it grounded.<\/p>\n<p>With &#8216;Dust&#8217; featuring French for Rabbits, a remix from Hern\u00e1n Catt\u00e1neo and Mercurio, and his debut album on the horizon, Jamie Stevens is proving once again why he\u2019s one of Australia\u2019s most versatile and visionary electronic artists. Whether you\u2019ve been following him since Infusion or you\u2019re just discovering him now, 2025 looks set to be a landmark year in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia\u2019s very own electronic pioneer Jamie Stevens is back in the spotlight with his hauntingly beautiful single &#8216;Dust&#8217;, featuring the ethereal vocals of French for Rabbits\u2019 Brooke Singer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112364,"featured_media":163582,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[998],"tags":[66533,66530,66531,12771,66534,66529,66532],"class_list":{"0":"post-163581","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-beginners-guide-to-floating","9":"tag-dust","10":"tag-french-for-rabbits","11":"tag-hernan-cattaneo","12":"tag-infusion","13":"tag-jamie-stevens","14":"tag-music-to-die-for-recordings"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jamie Stevens Stuns With &quot;Dust&quot; Feat.
