VIZE, Marnik, and Distrion Revive a Scottish Dance Classic with “Live Once”


In a bold union of international talent, German hitmaker VIZE, Italian duo Marnik, and Spanish up-and-comer Distrion have unleashed their collaborative single, “Live Once.” This high-energy track, released on Crash Your Sound, serves as a modern-day homage to Artemesia’s 1994 classic Bits and Pieces, a track deeply rooted in Scotland’s dance culture and unofficially dubbed the country’s anthem.

“Live Once” is a masterclass in blending nostalgia with contemporary club energy. With its playful vocals, pulsing basslines, and a mix of trance and hard house elements, the song feels like a celebration of dance music’s vibrant past and its ever-evolving present. VIZE’s knack for crafting chart-topping hits, Marnik’s big-room expertise, and Distrion’s fresh creative edge combine to deliver a track that’s as much a throwback as it is a banger for today’s ravers.

VIZE, the German dynamo behind deep basslines and countless dance-pop radio hits, says, “Live Once blends pure nostalgia with modern club vibes in a playful and fresh way – something different from what I typically do, but I absolutely love the result.” His recent successes, including global anthems like “Never Let Me Down” and “Stars,” are a testament to his genre-defying versatility, and this track further solidifies his place as one of Europe’s most consistent hitmakers.

Marnik, whose signature sound has propelled them to the forefront of the scene, shared their excitement: “Pumped to bring back that old school sound from the 90s/early 2000s we grew up with. Huge shoutout to VIZE and Distrion; we’re stoked to be working with them.” Their ability to blend euphoric melodies with powerful rhythms is on full display, adding an infectious charm to the single.

Distrion, the 27-year-old Spaniard known for his ability to harmonize contrasting elements in his music, brings a fresh perspective. His statement, “Live Once brings back to life the hit Bits and Pieces, which I love, in a very fun and modern way,” perfectly captures the essence of the track. His rising star power adds a youthful energy that rounds out the collaboration.

Beyond its undeniable club appeal, “Live Once” has massive viral potential. It’s an anthem for late-night dancefloors and sunrise adventures, and its message of living in the moment resonates universally. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of 90s rave culture or someone discovering it for the first time, this track delivers.

With each artist bringing their unique strengths to the table, “Live Once” is a shining example of how international collaborations can breathe new life into dance music classics. It’s a track that pays respect to its roots while boldly stepping into the future—a must-listen for anyone who loves their beats with a side of nostalgia.
