NODS TO THE PAST

Shane Codd’s rise to prominence in the dance music scene over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. Hailing from Ireland, the self-taught producer has managed to translate his passion for creating feel-good house music into massive global success, with his debut single “Get Out My Head” amassing over 220 million streams worldwide.

Now, Codd is aiming to continue that momentum with his latest release, “Good To Me” – a vibrant rework of the iconic 80s R&B track “Just Be Good To Me” by The S.O.S Band. This new iteration blends the nostalgia of the original with Codd’s contemporary dance sensibilities, resulting in a track that perfectly captures the carefree, summer-ready energy many of us are craving as we approach the warmer months.

The production on “Good To Me” is an absolute delight, seamlessly marrying moogy, groovy basslines, sparkling piano melodies, and a infectious, offbeat rhythm. There’s a distinct retro flavor to the track that evokes the glory days of dance music, while still maintaining a modern punch and polish. It’s the kind of tune that could easily find its way into DJ sets and playlists, elevating the mood of any party or festival crowd.

What’s perhaps most impressive about Codd’s work is his ability to take a well-known sample or source material and breathe new life into it. The way he’s transformed “Just Be Good To Me” is a testament to his production prowess and creative vision. He’s managed to capture the essence of the original while infusing it with his own unique style and flair.

As we inch closer to the start of summer, “Good To Me” feels like the perfect musical accompaniment. It’s an uplifting, feel-good anthem . Codd’s ability to craft these kinds of instantly infectious, crowd-pleasing tracks is well established, and “Good To Me” is simply the latest example of his growing mastery of the craft.
