If you’ve been waiting for a tech house track that actually feels like it belongs on a packed dancefloor instead of just existing in a playlist, “Lighthouse” from The Disco Godfathers might be the one that cuts through the noise. This isn’t background music. It’s the kind of vocal-led record that grabs attention the second the groove locks in.
The Disco Godfathers are the Canadian duo of Brandon (McBae) and Liam (also known as Kulture or Cormier). They’re part of what the bio calls EDM’s next wave out of Canada, and their sound lives in that sweet spot between tech house and melodic house. Upbeat, energetic, and built to move people. Tracks like “Get Up On This,” their remix work on 50 Cent’s “Disco Inferno,” and a take on Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” already showed they know how to deliver vitality and decadence without overcomplicating the formula. “Lighthouse” continues that approach: a vocal-led dance record that leans on current momentum and festival-ready energy.
What stands out on paper is the company they’re keeping on this one. Oaks—the electronic project of vocalist Winona Oak, fresh off her EP with The Chainsmokers—joins LZRD and the duo. LZRD returns after years away from a catalog that pulled hundreds of millions of streams and main-stage Lollapalooza performances. That combination alone signals the track is positioned for both club play and wider digital reach, with seeding and digital ad campaigns already in the mix.
Tech house and melodic house have been holding strong on dancefloors and in festival sets for a reason. The best records in these lanes keep the low-end driving while giving the top end enough space for a vocal or a melodic hook to land. “Lighthouse” sits right in that zone according to the description: current, festival-pedigree energy wrapped around a vocal performance. You can picture the track working in a late-night set where the crowd is already locked in and looking for something that pushes the energy higher without losing the groove.
The Disco Godfathers’ approach has always been about delivering on vigor. Their music is meant to fascinate and pull crowds in, and this single keeps that promise. No overblown claims needed—just a clean, purposeful tech house / melodic house cut from a duo that knows what a dancefloor wants.
