When two seasoned talents collide, magic happens. This is the case with “Rely On Me,” the latest collaboration between the legendary Oliver Smith and the ever-versatile Tailor. Released on Anjunabeats, this melodic house and techno gem showcases the label’s commitment to forward-thinking, emotive electronic music.

As the first-ever signing to Anjunabeats, Oliver Smith is no stranger to pushing boundaries. With over 20 million streams across his career and a reputation as one of the label’s foundational artists, Oliver continues to define and redefine what Anjunabeats stands for. From mixing the acclaimed Anjunabeats Worldwide 08 compilation to releasing the fan-favorite Be Kind Rewind EP alongside Andrew Bayer, his resume reads like a masterclass in modern electronic music. His ability to craft timeless and cutting-edge tracks shines brightly in “Rely On Me.”

On the other side of this partnership is the South African-born, UK-based Tailor (Rob Taylor), whose talents as a singer-songwriter have made him a sought-after collaborator in the dance music world. Tailor has worked with an eclectic roster, including Lane 8, KSHMR, KC Lights, and many more. His signature soulful vocal delivery adds layers of emotion to “Rely On Me,” turning it into a track that resonates deeply on the dance floor and in introspective moments.

“Rely On Me” is a finely balanced blend of melodic house grooves and the deeper, atmospheric textures of techno. Opening with warm, pulsing basslines and shimmering synths, the production gently builds, enveloping the listener in its ethereal soundscape. Tailor’s vocals are the true star here—delicate yet powerful, soar above the instrumentation, lending the track a heartfelt and cinematic quality.

As the track progresses, Oliver’s meticulous production shines through, with dynamic transitions and nuanced layers that keep the energy evolving. It’s a journey of intimacy and euphoria, perfect for peak moments in a melodic house set or reflective late-night listening sessions.

Anjunabeats remains a powerhouse in electronic music, and Oliver Smith has been a cornerstone of its legacy since day one. His ability to adapt to evolving trends while maintaining his signature sound has earned him a devoted fan base. This track, however, benefits equally from Tailor’s knack for imbuing electronic productions with raw emotion.

Tailor’s recent collaborations with Lane 8, Le Youth, and Simon Doty have shown his versatility, but “Rely On Me” feels particularly special. His lyrics and delivery here strike a chord that feels uniquely personal, yet universally relatable.
