Freddy Verano (Feat. Sam Smith) – Moments

This Indian Summer bloomer has captured my attention within the first six seconds. A piano riff that just screams ‘Ibiza Chillout’ and puts you into a state of relaxation to begin with, until the track really kicks in. This charismatic track fits into that ‘pre-pre drinks’ category of your night out, but that one track you’ll still be humming and wanting more from even as you stagger home, and the one you wish would be next on queue from the club DJ. The track features one of 2014’s big stars in the UK and worldwide in Sam Smith – which could be the key feature to set this track to the mainstream.

Although born in Cologne, Germany in 1986, Verano is of half Colombian descent. Learning Piano at age 8, Verano’s love of electronic music developed early, and cites artists such as Bob Sinclair, Daft Punk, Armand Van Helden and Erick Morillo as his key influences.

It was only four years ago though that Verano swapped other artists tracks on his decks, to his own. Deciding he wanted his own identity. Describing his sound as ‘Sunshine House’, Verano likes to experiment with Flutes, Piano, Guitars, and strings. Combining all to create an uplifting feel and naturality to his music.
