After their recent #1 airplay hit in Germany ‘Wave’, FAST BOY returns with their infectious new single, ‘Last Summer’, a collaboration with legendary New York DJ and recording artist Moby, featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Sophie and the Giants. Released today via Virgin Records, ‘Last Summer’ seamlessly blends energetic, danceable rhythms with a sense of nostalgia, capturing the unforgettable allure of summer.
‘Last Summer’ showcases FAST BOY’s signature upbeat sound, balancing light, rave-inspired melodies with deeper emotional undertones and irresistible pop hooks that make the track both catchy and relatable. The song’s infectious melody draws listeners in, while its lyrics add depth, evoking vivid memories of carefree summer moments, with the chorus posing the question, “Do you think about last summer, And all the colours? It makes me wonder.” Instead of dwelling on melancholy, the song celebrates the fleeting joys of summer, capturing moments of happiness shared with someone special.
Reflecting on their collaboration, Felix of FAST BOY shares, “Working with Moby feels surreal—he’s a true pioneer in electronic music, always pushing boundaries.” Lucas adds, “Moby’s album Play shaped an entire generation of musicians, including me. Tracks like ‘Porcelain’ combine incredible depth and melancholy with something light and inspired by rave culture. That blend of emotion and iconic sound was exactly what we wanted to capture in ‘Last Summer’.”
Known for his iconic hits like ‘Go’ and the groundbreaking Play, Moby adds his signature eclectic style to the track, blending elements of punk and ambient music. His contribution complements FAST BOY’s modern pop sound, giving ‘Last Summer’ an edge of nostalgia and depth.
Sophie and the Giants further enhance the song with their harmonizing vocals, elevating the emotional resonance of the track. “We wanted to remind people of the magic of summer, the warmth, the fun, and how it stays with you,” Sophie explains.
‘Last Summer’ follows a string of successful releases such as the #1 airplay track ‘Bad Memories’ with MEDUZA, and multiple collaborations with industry giants like Tiesto, David Guetta, Oliver Heldens, R3HAB and Topic. This year, the German brother duo continued their meteoric rise, playing major shows across the globe including Shanghai, Colombia, Poland, The Netherlands and Spain. Known for their ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience, the duo has carved out a niche with their emotive yet upbeat tracks.
