Indian Summer Releases New Infectious, Pop-Infused Summer Anthem – ‘Right At Home’ [Exclusive Premiere]

All over the world, it is slowly beginning to finally feel like spring. Even the usual tundra’s of the Northeast in America got a wild little Indian Summer last week with the temperatures in the 80’s. There is no doubt that this change in weather has lightened people’s attitudes. It is once again for summertime anthems, and long drives with the windows down. Festival season is just around the corner, and school is finally starting to wrap up. Today we have the privilege of bringing to you an amazing track from the aptly named Indian Summer, that will further push your summertime feeling into overdrive.

The Divide Of The Pacific

Melbourne based producer Gabe Gleeson, better known as Indian Summer, has teamed up with the LA-based vocalist Aaron Michael for a truly inspired single, ‘Right At Home’. The story of the track’s production is as captivating as the tune itself. Two artists on different sides of the Pacific ocean working together despite being separated by thousands of miles. Indian Summer explained that the tune came together so naturally, it was as if the divide didn’t even exist. Listening to the song, it is hard to believe that Aaron and Gabe never shared studio time together, as it is just that good.

Smooth Sailing With New Single

‘Right At Home’ is a bold and beautiful song. Aaron’s rich vocals alongside Indian Summer’s infectious instrumentation and production has made for a tune that will instantly get you moving. The house elements throughout and airy vocal filtering make this track a dancefloor-ready club hit as well as a radio-friendly feel-good hit. It is simply incredibly hard to get a song that can appeal to a wide audience while simultaneously staying true to its dance music roots. Indian Summer has achieved this with easy though. Check it out below for the first time ever, and find it everywhere tomorrow, April 20, via Sweat It Out.

Sweat It Out Had A Track Record Of Spotting This Exact Sound

‘Right At Home’ rolling out through Sweat It Out is worth a little extra context, because that label built a real reputation as one of the go-to homes for exactly this brand of sun-soaked, house-adjacent pop crossover. Australian dance music had a huge influence on the broader tropical house wave that dominated the mid-to-late 2010s, and labels like Sweat It Out were a big reason why — they consistently backed producers who could write something radio-friendly without losing the four-on-the-floor foundation that makes a track actually work on a dancefloor.

The long-distance collaboration angle is genuinely one of the more interesting parts of this story too. Making a song feel this cohesive without ever being in the same room is harder than it sounds, especially on a track this vocal-forward, where the chemistry between producer and singer usually benefits from real-time back and forth. Indian Summer and Aaron Michael pulling it off entirely over file transfers says a lot about how far remote collaboration tools had come by 2018, and it’s a workflow that’s only become more common across the industry since.
