The first version of ‘6AM’ played through a car stereo in Phoenix.BIJOU had just come off a tour stop alongside Tchami and Night Bass founder AC Slater, and was running through unreleased demos when the track came on.
Slater called it before anyone else did: this one needed Tchami.Ad 0:00 Click for sound 0:00 / 0:00 Out today via BIJOU’s Do Not Duplicate Recordings, ‘6AM’ features Toronto-born vocalist MKLA and marks the first time he’s appeared on a record with the influential Parisian house music producer.
They spent the following months passing versions back and forth, building the track around MKLA’s writing and vocals.What lands is closer to deep house than most of BIJOU’s catalog, reverb-washed and faintly futuristic with MKLA’s wistful topline set to the late hour from which the track takes its name.
The collaboration also puts two label worlds in the same room, BIJOU’s DND RECS and Tchami’s Confession, and delivers a record that had a life on the dancefloor long before its official release.‘6AM’ had received spins from Martin Garrix, Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens and Nicky Romero on each producer’s official radio shows.
