It seems the one main benefit we get from the other side of the world whilst they're enjoying their summer season, is that we can delude ourselves into warmth too with the summer tunes that come flooding in.

Sunny vibes are no exception with this latest track by Mark Penner, a Toronto-based producer that goes by the alias of CYCLISTTeaming up with vocalist Maiko Watson, the pair have dropped this super fresh and oh-so-chic tune called, 'Sunrise'.

From its bright opening chord progression and tropical percussive hits, the warm toned vocals lead the way for the bass kicks and twinkling '60s-esque vibes, coupled with electro synths that swell and burst into a full techni-coloured sonic disco as the song progresses.

Watson's vocals are both complimentary to the entire production as well as a soloistic element, as her vocal phrasing flourishes alongside the horns section, keeping the track's forward momentum as well as the listener's feet a-moving with the groove.
