Electronic producer and songwriter Marcoussimo is set to release his debut single, "Phone Life In Las Vegas", on February 21st, 2025. The single, alongside the Crazy Horse Remix, will be available on all major streaming platforms and includes 100 numbered 7” vinyl, available directly to purchase from www.marcoussimo.com
Phone Life In Las Vegas is inspired by Marcoussimo’s journey through the vibrant, neon-drenched streets of Las Vegas in 2024 and our obsession with phones and social media. The track encapsulates the chaotic pulse of contemporary life—where flashing lights and digital screens rule, yet genuine connections seem harder to find.
"While walking through the streets of Vegas, I was struck by the mix of spectacle, excess, and the constant pull of phones," Marcoussimo explains. "The city felt alive, yet disconnected in many ways, and that paradox inspired the track. It’s a fun, energetic tune but reflects something more—the digital obsession that defines modern existence."
Musically, "Phone Life In Las Vegas" channels influences OF electronic pioneers like The Chemical Brothers and Fat Boy Slim. Marcoussimo’s signature style blends electronic dance music with a hint of film soundtracks and indie and rock influences.
wHY do i feel so sad?
Why Do I Feel So Sad? Taken from Marcoussimo's Country Electro Part 1 EP being released 30th May 2025.
As someone who loves experimenting with different genres, I’ve always been drawn to blending sounds uniquely. "Why Do I Feel So Sad" came to life during a period of solitude after I moved to the middle of nowhere. Isolated and spending most of my time in the studio,
I began reflecting on loneliness. I contacted Texas-based singer-songwriter Tom Savage, sharing my vision for the track. When he asked about the inspiration behind it, I told him I wanted to capture the spirit of Johnny Cash—but with a twist—set against the vastness of the desert.
Though the title may sound a little melancholy, I find "Why Do I Feel So Sad" surprisingly uplifting. It's a mix of country and disco, a fusion that brings unexpected energy to the story of isolation.
