Throwback: Generik Ft Nicky Van She- The Weekend
In 2015 Generik released a little tune, that ended up being a really big tune. The Weekend ft. Nicky Van She saw him added to commercial radios across the country, over 2 million collective streams and a national tour for the ages.
A joyous story of parties lived and loved, wild adventures celebrated and savored, The Weekend hotwires hyperactive house with euphoric ‘90s rave piano, a sleek guitar solo and Nicky Van She on vocals. Naturally, the track was born on a bender, which started in a London pub and spilled back to Nicky’s house to all hours. “Nicky started singing the vocal into his phone on the train home,” recalls Generik Tyson. “We got home and started banging out the piano chords and the core of the track was made.”
‘The Weekend’ signals a pivotal point for Generik, since cutting his teeth at iconic Melbourne clubs like ONELOVE and SuperDisco, this self-confessed joker of the deck has become the ace of clubs, here and abroad. Armed with killer sets and that famous 1000-kilowatt smile, he’s the jet-setting, party punk that’s earned the attention of DJ dons like Diplo, Brodinski, Gesaffelstein, Skrillex and Calvin Harris. It’s that quest for the perfect party that propels Tyson’s music and runs deep within ‘The Weekend’.
“I think if you put ‘The Weekend’ on and you don’t want to dance, there’s definitely something wrong with your brain or your ears.”
The original comes backed with a stella remix package primed with Belgium’s Arches (Seba - Moonlight Matters and Jochen – Sound Of Stereo) leading the charge and Terace giving up the bass house slant.
