The acclaimed performer will kick off an Australasian jaunt this Friday

Brisbane-bred production whiz Sampology is pre-empting this week's commencement of his Australasian AV tour, which kicks off in China this Friday, with the release of fresh cut Shine A Light, featuring Daniel Merriweather, to whet fans' appetites.

The track has done big business for the acclaimed performer since its release a couple weeks ago, racking up airplay at home on youth broadcaster triple j as well as overseas from the likes of Kiss FM London, Pure Belgium, FM4 Austria, Studio Brussels and others. It's a shining, ebullient, soulful club-ready banger, sure to set toes tapping and heads nodding in involuntary agreement with the beat.

Have a listen to the track, which marks the first taste of the prodigy's forthcoming sophomore full-length (due June 2015) and is out now via Inertia in Australia and New Zealand, below.

out now via Inertia in Australia & New Zealand, October 13 in UK, Europe, Asia and October 14 in North America. Bringing the high hats, hand claps, chanting vocals and Merriweather's soaring lead and big club sound to life, 'Shine a Light' has received multiple spins in the past fortnight on Triple J, as well as radio support internationally on Kiss FM London; Pure Belgium; FM4 Austria, Studio Brussels and more. 'Shine a Light' is the first taste of what's to come from Sampology's sophomore album out June 2015.

The national leg of his run around Oceania gets under way next Friday, November 7, so you've more than a week to spend with the new song before he lights up stages in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane (multiple times), Sunshine Coast, and Townsville, ultimately arriving in Melbourne on December 13, with a Singaporean detour thrown into the mix along the way.
