For "Higher Than The Sun", Roger Shah and Brian Laruso composed an ingenious backing track, laying down a highly emotive foundation for JES' own vocal arrangements. As an infectious, electro inspired endeavour, the producers keep up the energizing pace of the song, while keeping a strong focus on the strength of the lyrics. With this seductive blend of JES' heartfelt singing, high energy synth and string components, "Higher Than The Sun" is nothing short of an instant chart topper.
Roger Shah has been active in the international EDM scene for more than 20 years. He boasts an impressive release record of more than 500 tracks on some of the largest and most successful record labels in the world.

He is one of the few EDM artist who works directly for Disney in Hollywood as a composer. With his unique Balearic music style he celebrates great success as a solo artist but also under various monikers. Sun lounger is without a doubt Roger's best known nom de plume.
JES, the Queen of Rocktronica, has been the voice for countless superstar dance producers, inciting hit records with Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, Gabriel & Dresden and BT among many others.

"Ghost" is still JES' most played electronic dance classics on the world's dance floors. Her most recent single "Before You Go", taken from her 2012 album "Unleash The Beat" was a collaboration with the Scottish top producer Andy Duguid. For "Higher Than The Sun", JES teamed up with the legendary Roger Shah and Brian Laruso, creating a charismatic impetus to the song with her unequalled vocal performance.
Everyone who's been active in electronic dance music, both from the DJ and producer side, knows Brian Laruso as one half of Global Experience.
