Happy birthday to one of the founding fathers of French Touch: Martin Solveig turns 50 today! It’s been a quiet year for him, ever since he confirmed his Vieilles Charrues set would be his last show, he’s kept a low profile and hadn’t released any new music, until now.
Today, he’s the one handing out the gifts. Solveig marks the occasion with “Fifty“, an exclusive new track, described as club-focused house music with a 90s flavor, available as a free download only, no streaming release planned.
“I’m not coming back, but I’m going to keep making music, it’s a passion,” Solveig said of the release. No comeback, then, just a reminder that stepping off stage doesn’t mean stepping away from the studio.
A GIFT, NOT A RELEASE
To get “Fifty,” head to martinsolveig.com, enter your email address, and you’ll receive a download link straight to your inbox. That’s it, no platforms, no algorithms, just a direct gift from Solveig to whoever wants it.
FIFTY LUCKY FANS
