A Canadian Collision: MENEW, Dzeko and BYOR Cross Genre Lines on ‘Never Us’

Leave it to Dzeko to spot dance potential in unlikely places. The Canadian producer, known for bridging pop and EDM with surgical precision, has turned fellow northerners MENEW’s rock foundations into festival fuel with “Never Us.”
The original collaboration already proved Dzeko’s pop instincts correct, breaking onto U.S. dance radio with its melodic approach. But it’s BYOR’s subsequent remix that really shows how far MENEW’s sound can stretch – transforming the Grammy-nominated alt-rockers’ track into a peak-time missile of driving drums and synth hooks.
For MENEW, three classically trained brothers who’ve shared stages with U2 and earned Letterman spots, this electronic evolution feels natural. They’ve been flirting with dance music since launching their Brothers side project at Cannes in 2017. But with Dzeko’s touch and BYOR’s remix pushing “Never Us” into serious club territory, these former rock purists might have just found their most powerful sound yet.
