Stephen Dowd Project: "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It" Remix—An Anthem Poised for the Global Dance Scene

Based in Ottawa, Canadian singer-songwriter Stephen Dowd is building a name for himself with his heartfelt compositions and dancefloor-ready beats. Now recently getting into remixing, his new release, "(Ça S'en Vient) It's Coming Can You Feel It (Remix)," has been picking up ears from all around the world by music lovers and playlist curators for its catchy hooks and electrifying energy. Known for genre-bending, Dowd has expanded from ballads to rock and now a high-energy dance track that's been qualified as a "club banger of the season.".



The song itself has an interesting genesis. Dowd originally wrote "(Ça S'en Vient)" as a laid-back song about two students whose study session becomes something more interesting.

Using the French phrase "Ça S'en Vient" (meaning "It's Coming") in the chorus, Dowd adds a note of anticipation, giving the song an effortlessly catchy hook that sticks in your head. Inspired to go further, he commissioned a remix that brought in punchier bass lines and rhythm that transformed the song into a dance anthem. The result is a contagious groove already making waves across multiple platforms. The song's reception has been nothing short of phenomenal. With a recent addition to the Gnix Music YouTube channel (215,000 subscribers) and Nocopyrightsound Lyrics (52,000 followers), Dowd's remix is gaining speed. It's already topped the Unsigned Hype Spotify playlist and claimed the #2 spot on TokMusic's Café Da Manhã Na Vibe playlist, just weeks after its release.

And the good press keeps flowing in: Songscope describes the track as a 'festival – ready anthem' that is primed for international success: "Dowd's remix shows that his future work should be taken seriously by mainstream jocks and listeners across the globe." For Dowd, "(Ça S'en Vient) It's Coming Can You Feel It (Remix)" is more than just a new page in music—it's a tantalizing hint at the things to come. With this infectious remix, Stephen Dowd is carving a place for himself atop the global dance scene, one he isn't showing any signs of slowing down from.
