Alesso Funeral Home

The new single follows up "I Wanna Know" featuring Nico & Vinz, released in April. It is an infectious, dance-pop single that uses pitched vocal chops in the hook and syncopated hi-hats in the break that normally could make this a generic pop tune, but Francis and Alesso find a way to keep this a bit different from other tracks.The jogging bass line and melody crafted by Alesso makes this another special tune for his discography, with the help of Francis on some of the more hip-hop influenced elements.Vocal chops are everywhere in modern dance pop and those who are just starting to use it sound like they put on "Lean On" and "Where Are Ü Now" and tried to copy that. However, Alesso and Francis do it right on "Take My Breath Away."The pair have been teasing a collaboration for close to a year now. Various versions of the song have been played out during shows for several months now, so it is good to hear the final, polished version. Dillon Francis is not listed on the title, but he is in the production credits and integral to the tune.Over the past month, Alesso has rehashed a few of his previous hits, "Years" and "I Wanna Know" with some Asian vocalists as he tries to make inroads with the largest emerging market in music. "Take My Breath Away" is now his second single to emerge in 2016.Stream the new single below and pick up a copy on iTunes. ... (Music Times)

For beach clubs and hotels, I consider Mykonos the best destination in the world," he says. "Ibiza freaks who say they'll never go anywhere else come to Mykonos and say, 'Why didn't I come here earlier?’”Mykonos operators see their small Cycladic island not as a challenger to Ibiza, but a more laidback alternative for savvy tourists. First of all, the numbers are very different: Ibiza drew 3.6 million airport arrivals in 2016, up 15 percent from 2015, according to officials. By contrast, the Greek Tourism Confederation (SETE) tells Billboard that Mykonos, which has just 180 hotels, saw 290,000 international arrivals in 2016, with a projected 11 percent increase in 2017.This growth has been good for the island's reputation as a sun-drenched dance music Mecca. In addition to a growing crop of luxe beach club/restaurant hybrids, including Scorpios and the nearby SantAnna, a new 1000-person capacity nightclub Void has opened in Mykonos Town. This flurry of new investment has played out against the backdrop of Greece's crippled economy. While insiders say the island felt the hit of the debt crisis around 2010, its tourism industry had regained strength by 2013.Boasting beautiful beaches and an even Mediterranean climate, Mykonos has long been a popular LGBT destination, with a cluster of renowned gay bars in Mykonos Town. However for tourists seeking big-ticket DJs (and the guarantee of a party stretching well past sunrise), the gold standard is Cavo Paradiso. The 2000-person capacity open-air space, which opened in 1993 on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea, has maintained its reputation as one of the world's best clubs. No expense is spared on talent, either. Cavo's 2017 schedule swings from EDM draws DJ Snake and Alesso to techno icons Richie Hawtin and Sven Väth, while also welcoming next-gen stars Marshmello and Alan Walker for the first time this summer.
