Nothing like a brand new track with an emotional story behind it to brighten up your hump day. Out now on Anjunadeep is UK progressive house producer Marsh’s new single ‘Warrior’.
Story Behind ‘Warrior’
Marsh shares the story behind his latest release ‘Warrior’. The song is a tribute to his best friend, Jimmy, who fought with leukemia in 2022 and 2023. Marsh wanted to showcase the qualities of confidence, fearlessness, and power that Jimmy embodied during his battle. The main theme of the song is to pay homage to Jimmy’s strength and courage. The track takes listeners on a sublime journey, telling a tale of strength that one would have heard on the dance floor during any of Marsh’s sets this past year. The song starts with a dark instrumental and an intense buildup in the first 50 seconds before transitioning into a melodic techno sound. This track is one of Tom’s best pieces of work so far. The instrumental of this heartwarming track conveys the compelling story and takes me back to Marsh’s all night long set at Coda in Toronto last December.
‘”Warrior” is a tribute to my best friend, Jimmy—a truly unique individual. Growing up together, we shared countless moments playing video games, sports, and engaging in mischief like knocking on doors and running away. We also discovered trance music together, deepening our bond. Jimmy is more than a friend; he’s a brother from another mother. Jimmy’s journey is nothing short of inspiring, a testament to his resilience and strength. “Warrior” is a humble tribute to his incredible fight—a reminder that he’s not just a survivor but a champion. I’m profoundly grateful to have my best friend by my side, and I couldn’t be prouder of him.’
Tom Marshall
In honor of Jimmy coming out a winner from his battle, Marsh not only released ‘Warrior’ but also wanted to give back. Tom orchestrated an exclusive, intimate kick-off event for ‘Warrior’ at The Ton of Brix in London, with the entirety of the proceeds earmarked for Leukaemia UK. The release is complemented by a live stream hosted at Kew Gardens, further cementing Marsh’s commitment to supporting this cause.
Tom has had a busy and exciting start to 2024, he is introducing a new hybrid club show concept called ‘‘Aria”. This exciting new venture will include live vocals from long-term collaborators and friends Leo Wood and Jodie Knight. The first two shows will be this May in London at HERE at Outernet and Manchester at New Century Hall. Checkout his tour dates for this Spring here.
