KEEP ME IN THE LIGHT
‘MARBLE MOUTH’
Single Review

(4th April 2025)

Review by Melanie Griffiths

Keep Me In The Light doesn’t so much release a track as open a time portal—and Marble Mouth is a strut straight through the neon-drenched heart of a ‘90s Euro discotheque where the fog machine’s broken but the vibes are immaculate.

The Point Blank alum from Scotland brings his disco-meets-indie-house DNA to the forefront here, delivering a track that pulses with retro reverence and modern polish. There’s an almost cinematic sleaze to the groove that would also lend itself to a vibrant gaming world. Synths bounce with rubbery precision, the bass-line snakes around your ankles, and the kick has that warm thump that makes your chest cavity feel like you could be partying in  Bangkok where Keep Me In The Light now resides.

The beats are looped and slightly submerged, giving it a liquid flow. The “marble mouth” motif feels deliberate—a nod perhaps to slurred truths and stifled expressions. There’s a tension here that plays nicely against the otherwise seductive beat that’s perfect for the club or late-night drives.

The production is tight, clean and committed. Every sonic element is in its lane, letting the groove lead without ever feeling bloated or overworked. There’s a certain confidence in how restrained it is, it never tries to outshine itself, which is refreshing in a genre that often leans into maximalism for the sake of it.

Marble Mouth is your answer for a mood-setter track. It’s a groove you want playing to when you want the momentum of the night to kick up a gear. Keep Me In The Light continues to carve a distinct little groove in the dance music landscape, retro shades on, head firmly in the now.

Marble Mouth is your answer for a mood-setter track. It’s a groove to reach for when you want the momentum of the night to kick up a gear without blowing out the vibe. Stylish and self-assured, Keep Me In The Light continues to carve a distinct little groove in the dance music landscape with his retro shades on, bassline locked, and future looking bright.
