Chicago-based artist Sherm has undoubtedly had his best year yet: from hosting a panel at ADE, performing on the North Shore and at the official Lollapalooza party with ACRAZE, to recently being DJ'd Mag on their prestigious list as one of their emerging artists for December. .
Now, he's back with his final release of the year, capping it off on high notes with his good friend Chris Diaz and his single “Standing Ovation.” “Standing Ovation” is a thrilling journey into tech house that showcases pulsing beats and infectious four-on-the-floor rhythms, perfectly capturing an underground essence.
The track begins with a mesmerizing groove, steadily gaining momentum as intricate layers of percussion seamlessly intertwine with a mesmerizing vocal sample. Sherm's distinctive touch is evident throughout, and Chris Diaz's contribution adds an extra layer of appeal, injecting undeniable energy into this single from start to finish. Together, their unique melodic sensibilities create a hypnotic anthem that is sure to remain in heavy rotation well into the new year.
“Standing Ovation is really a 50/50 split in our styles and sounds. We revived the composition from a stack of IDs I had and Díaz immediately had a connection with the idea. The layers and progression of the track make it really unique and you find yourself engrossed in the music. I'm so happy to finally release this one with my BOY!“- sherm
“Since we crossed paths in 2020, I knew this collaboration was long overdue. However, like fine old wine, time has grown our friendship and our music to select the best work of both of us… until now, of course. I love working with Sherm. I feel like we're both trying to build something in this industry that's much bigger than us and 'Standing Ovation' is just a taste of what's to come.“- Chris Diaz
