Written by Steve Bronski, Jimmy Somerville, and Larry Steinbachek, and originally performed by Bronski Beat in 1984, Smalltown Boy is reborn as a moody, cinematic club track in this Pulse Meridian reimagining.

Driven by a steady 120 BPM pulse, this version layers a deep, pulsating synth bass, atmospheric pads, and clean arpeggiated guitar lines beneath smooth, melancholic vocals. The result is a dark, emotional, and modern electronic interpretation that preserves the heartbreak and defiance of the original while giving it new life on the dancefloor.
