Local Singles bring their rhythmic expertise to the table, crafting a euphoric tune that builds with an air of mystery while Sam Blacky, known for her incorporation of global sounds brings afrohouse touches to the table. Her contribution fuses deep bass undertones with tribal instrumentals and vocals, resulting in a genuine international sound. “Hotsteppa” is infectious, manifesting a sunrise groove session deep in the jungle. It’s no wonder the track has already received support from industry leaders, with Diplo and Francis Mercier debuting it at Burning Man last year. The single follows Local Singles’ recent track “Fever” on BLOND:ISH’s label and Sam Blacky’s collaboration “Ronaldinho” with Niniola.
The collaboration came about after a serendipitous near-miss at a Keinemusik show in Brooklyn Mirage. Sam Blacky explains, “We laughed so hard when we saw each other’s stories, and I couldn’t believe we missed each other that night. We decided we had to collaborate soon to memorize that funny moment and show our love of the tribal and Afrohouse sound, and this is how ‘Hotsteppa’ was born.”
Local Singles added, “Getting ‘Hotsteppa’ out was a labor of love. From finding the right collaborator in Sam Blacky, to finding the right vocalist, and last but not least, finding the right label in Spinnin’ Deep. It’s taken over a year, but we can finally say… here comes the ‘Hotsteppa.'”

The closures will be implemented in two phases over a period of approximately 66 days each year through fiscal year 2027. The first phase will affect a smaller area, while the second phase will cover a significantly larger portion of the playa. However, it’s important to note that the remaining 67% of the playa will remain open for dispersed recreational use.
Closure Details
Phase 1: Covers approximately 9,941 acres and lasts 66 days. Phase 2: Covers approximately 51,149 acres and lasts 20 days. Closure Dates
The specific dates for the closures will vary each year:
YearPhase 1Phase 22024July 25 – September 28August 19 – September 72025July 24 – September 27August 18 – September 62026July 30 – October 3August 24 – September 122027July 29 – October 2August 23 – September 11 The BLM has emphasized that these temporary closures are necessary to protect the delicate ecosystem of the Black Rock Desert. This will also allow to ensure the safety of visitors. While the closures may impact recreational activities during certain periods, the majority of the playa will remain accessible to the public.
Impact on Burning Man
The BLM has emphasized that the majority of the playa will remain open for public use. However, the temporary closures will undoubtedly impact the Burning Man festival.
Logistical Challenges: The event organizers will need to adapt their plans to accommodate the restricted areas. This may involve adjustments to camp layouts, infrastructure, and transportation. Reduced Space: The closures will limit the available space for the festival, potentially affecting attendee capacity and the overall experience. Increased Costs: Implementing changes to accommodate the closures is likely to increase costs for the event organizers. Environmental Concerns: The festival has faced criticism for its impact on the environment. The closures could be seen as a step towards mitigating these concerns and promoting sustainable practices. It’s important to note that the Burning Man organization has a strong track record of working collaboratively with the BLM to ensure the event’s sustainability and minimize its impact on the environment.

‘Dom Perignon’
Raising the bar of his own dutty-excellence after committing to an intense seven-month stint of musical up-skilling, this bouncy new EP is proof of the Mancunian producer’s hard work, slight change of direction and eagerness to focus more on the musical elements of his tracks.
New flavours, new techniques, same old Dutta. We pulled him in to find out more.
Dutta! Highlight of the week so far?
I met a really nice woman the other night! Work’s going well too. I feel like a lot of good things are landing on my lap at the moment. I’ve been making a lot more healthier choices, putting a bit more love back into the cup and the universe gives back to me tenfold. So yeah – I’ve had a great week this week!
The wholesomeness we all wanted. Let’s talk about your new EP on Souped Up – was there anything different you wanted to do with this one?
Realistically, for the last 7 months I’ve been taking a lot of time off shows and working on my music, knuckling down on my songwriting and stuff like that. Kind of taking a bit of a different approach with my songwriting, how I’m making my tunes and the direction I’m taking my sound in. So yeah, I wanted my music to be a bit more mature, a bit more songwritey! I wanted to reinvent myself, come with a fresh new sound. Show everyone how much I’ve been working. I wanted to showcase the new skills I’ve been learning over the last 7 months in terms of my production.
What brought on this change in direction?
I just feel like I kind of needed to reinvent how I was making my tunes. Up the levels of everything, instead of making the same old stuff I’ve been making. I started noticing that there were a lot of things that I could do to improve on. There are things I didn’t struggle with, but the things that I did struggle with I just knuckled down and went back to basics with everything. You find yourself writing the same sort of music. It’s kind of good to step away from the style you’re writing and learn new things and make other types of music. I found after doing that, when I went back to the style I was creating, my confidence in the studio was a lot higher. My consistency is getting a lot better. I think I needed to work on that over the last 7 months and take my music into a new direction.
A natural progression for an artist! Is it easy to clock when it’s the right time to step towards a new sound and start upskilling again?
I think right now because of people’s attention spans, when you’re making too much or something, people are just getting bored of it. I personally wanted to start writing much more exciting music, so I needed to go back to the drawing board. Personally speaking. You could be an artist who has had one big tune, then you go off and carry on writing thinking your tunes are the best but they’re not. It depends on what sort of artist you are. I’m very self-critical. There’s a lot of ideas that I write that go straight in the bin. All the stuff I’ve been putting out have been tracks I’ve really liked and genuinely wanted to put out.
Having a big hit very early on in your journey as an artist must create a huge amount of pressure, perhaps anxiety too?
It creates a lot of pressure because everyone is watching. Even being a one trick pony, there’s no consistency there. The proof is in the pudding. You’ve got to be consistently releasing good music. That one trick-pony thing would give me a lot of anxiety. I’ve been making music for about 14 years so it’s a walk in the park. I really enjoy it. It’s what I do in most of my spare time, for fun. So I don’t really feel pressured in the studio or anything like that, but I can imagine if you made a hit, and it’s early on in your career, it’s a lot of pressure because then you need to make a tune as big as that hit.
Making music for fun is the one. There’s a lot of value in doing things for fun instead of doing things for money.
It’s a big escape for me. Saying that though, even when I’m at my happiest and I’ve got good stuff going on, that also inspires me to sit and make music. It helps me express my emotions a lot better and helps me control what I’m feeling too. It’s more therapy to me than a get rich sort of thing. Even if I didn’t do what I do in drum & bass, I’d still be writing music regardless.
That sounds like a very healthy way to make music. Keeping the love for our creative ventures is important, paying your rent off your creativity can sometimes be exhausting.
It just becomes a chore. It can be difficult doing the music thing full-time. I left my job when music was paying me more than my job but even then, it’s still good to have a stable income. You might get your first big pay out or you might be going out for a grand a gig or whatever, but if you have other work too, you have stability. It’s healthy to separate your work from your art. You don’t want to be in the studio choring. Like urghhh I need to finish this project. It should be fun. I found myself doing it. I have been releasing music since 2015 so over the last 10 years, I’ve felt a few of the emotions you know. I’ve just tried to not bring any more stress into my life. Life is hard enough as it is, you don’t want to make it any harder regarding the work that you’re doing every day. Especially when that thing is something you love and your art, something you really do pour yourself into it.
You’re an independent artist who works across different labels whilst self-releasing too – what are the pros and cons of working in this way?
I work with the people I work with, sort of thing. I keep my circle small and I work with the people I’ve worked with for a long time and built a relationship up with. I think it’s good to have creative control over your music. So doing the self-releases and stuff like that fills in the gaps when you don’t have a release on a big label or big artists to work with. Then that creative control keeps the consistency with releasing. Work with big artists and labels too though. Working with labels opens doors for new fanbase, new fans who follow the label and like what the label do too. New people might check you out and then you might become their favourite artist! It opens a lot of doors. Not that it can’t be done independently. If I’ve got any advice for artists, I’d say it’s good to stay with a team and work with a team. You don’t want to be releasing with every label under the sun. Don’t be sending the same demos to all the labels. Wait until you hear back from them, wait til they’ve spoken to ya, then go elsewhere if they turn you down. Don’t be sending all ya tunes to every Tom, Dick and Harry. No ones going to want to hear it. Only if people don’t get back to you after a week or two should you go elsewhere. People like exclusivity. It shows loyalty, which goes a long way in this industry.
Artists that you’re rating at the min?
Absolutely! I want to shout out Parallel, Hexa, if you’re reading this, go and check those out. They’re making wicked tunes, tunes that are going off in my sets at the minute. Flipnosis too, everyone I’m working with at the min, Serum, Trigga, Upgrade. I’ll leave that there. There’s loads of people.
What do you think the best thing, and also the most challenging thing, is about being an artist in 2024?
Wow! TikTok. For both! Nah, the most challenging thing in 2024 as a musician is that it’s very saturated. I feel like everyone wants to do it. Everyone wants a quick buck. The music was from the underground and it will always go back round to that… I’m just hoping that it does sometime soon! Things are a bit difficult at the minute. Everyone is still skint from lockdown. All the clubs are shutting. The promoters don’t have the same budgets they had before lockdown. There’s a lot of things affecting the industry that’s out of everyone’s control and a lot of artists are really taking it out on themselves at this time, regarding gigs and feeling disheartened about work and stuff like that. I’m hearing it a lot across the board from a lot of my peers when we’re catching up. Everyone’s finding it difficult. We’re in a massive recession. No one has any money. People at the minute are more than happy to sit at home with a pair of decks, listening to tunes they want to listen to, a load of mates chip in on a nice bottle of vodka for a tenner each, or you go out and spend £100. So what you gunna do. I get it. But people need to support the local scene and support the underground scene because if they don’t and they stop, it’s just going to disappear.
Any final words of wisdom?
Everyone eat your veggies, everyone support the underground scene and everyone support each other too. Also – everyone reading this, I have an event in Manchester on August 30. Boiler Room style rave with a sick lineup that I’ve catered myself. Very limited ticket capacity. There is a rule that your front camera and back camera will be covered on entry. There’s a policy- no videos in the rave. You can use your phone, if you’ve got too mash-up and you need to find ya friends, you can still do that but otherwise, no phones in the rave. I want people to be locked in the moment and to have a special experience.

In an electrifying showcase of innovation and music, DJ Mag and Twisted Lines brought a one-of-a-kind techno experience to the heart of downtown Atlanta. Held under a bridge near The Underground, this event redefined the boundaries of techno performances in Atlanta with its unique 360-degree ‘boiler room’ setup.
Headlined by the phenomenal Sara Landry, the night was a high-octane journey through techno. Landry captivated the crowd with her vibrant energy, ecstatic dance moves, and an array of high-energy beats. Her set included both classic tracks and new hits like “Pressure” and “Heaven,” which had the audience in a continuous state of exhilaration.
Supporting acts Sam Wolfe and YSNXS also delivered stellar performances, each bringing their distinctive style to the stage and adding depth to the evening’s lineup.
What set this event apart was the lack of traditional LED screens, replaced instead by breathtaking lasers that created a mesmerizing visual experience. Combined with an outstanding sound system, the atmosphere was immersive and unparalleled, marking it as one of Atlanta’s sweatiest and most unique recent events.

‘Take Over Control’ dominated the charts in 2010, holding the #1 spot for six weeks on the US Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Hungary’s Dance Top 40, and Poland’s Dance Top 50. It achieved 2X Platinum status in Australia and Platinum in the United States.
Since this breakthrough, Afrojack has continued to make waves in the industry. He founded his own record label in 2014, Wall Recordings, where he released his debut album, Forget the World. He is currently on tour, continuing to cast his spell on new and old audiences alike.
To date, ‘Take Over Control’ remains a summertime anthem and brings back the nostalgia of summer 2010 when it first dropped.

In the early 2010s Porter Robinson was making a name for himself and gaining traction in the music scene incredibly fast with some great tracks like ‘Say My Name’ and ‘Spitfire.’ It would only be 2 years after his debut single that he would release his breakthrough track ‘Language’ which is without a doubt an iconic track that would launch his career in a big way. Despite the success of his early tracks, he didn’t feel like what he was making was authentic of his true style, and from this revelation ‘Worlds’ was born.
With the release of his debut album came a whole new side of Porter Robinson for everyone to hear. Taking inspiration from the legendary Daft Punk and ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’ game, he would produce a beautiful soundscape of 80s synths and retro video game sounds with a tempo much slower than what he had been previously working at. The music was unlike anything that had been heard before because it wasn’t trying to be anything else. It was simply what Porter Robinson wanted to make as he would explain in an interview in 2015 saying “Worlds was, me taking a break from what I was doing and doing something that was honest, authentic and real.”
Despite it being a long way from following the trends of EDM that was hitting the charts, ‘Worlds’ debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums and has since gone on to garner over 300 million streams on Spotify. Porter Robinson’s honesty on this album has brought him a great deal of success and huge respect from fans and fellow artists. He has continued in this vein ever since, making music that he loves and music that we love.

HARD Summer 2024 marked its debut at the sprawling Hollywood Park, nestled right next to the iconic SoFi Stadium. As the first festival of its kind at this location, expectations were high, and the event did not disappoint. The open-air setup, with stages spread across the massive venue, brought a unique energy to the festival. As the sun dipped below the horizon, airplanes soared overhead, painting a picturesque backdrop for an unforgettable weekend. While the vastness of the venue meant long treks between stages, the breathtaking views and urban setting gave off heavy EDC-like vibes—a true cityscape spectacle.
Matt Winkelmeyer for Insomniac Events Vibes That Took Us Back To The Roots
From the moment the gates opened, the festival exuded an electric atmosphere. The energy was palpable as festivalgoers from all walks of life embraced the PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect) ethos that has long defined the scene. It was a reunion of sorts, reminiscent of the early days of HARD Summer when the community and the music came together in perfect harmony. Whether it was exchanging kandi with new friends or vibing to the beats under the setting sun, the sense of unity was ever-present. Even with a few minor issues, like the long lines and cramped restroom areas, the positive vibes overshadowed any inconveniences. The spirit of HARD Summer was alive and well, making every moment of the festival truly magical.
Quinn Tucker for Insomniac Events A Sonic Journey Worth Every Step
The music lineup was a festivalgoer’s dream. Acts like Mochakk, Sidepiece, and Zeds Dead brought the house down with electrifying performances. Additionally, Channel Tres and Elderbrook stole the show with their incredible sets. The open layout of the stages allowed for a dynamic auditory experience, where the music flowed freely across the venue. That said, the spread-out stages did present a challenge; a 10-15 minute walk between performances was a reality for those eager to catch their favorite acts. Some technical hiccups, like muffled vocals during Nelly Furtado‘s performance and Wax Motif‘s mic issues, were noticeable, but they didn’t detract from the overall experience. The festival organizers did a commendable job with the stage setups, but a little more polish on the technical side would elevate future editions.
Priscilla Rodriguez for Insomniac Events Talent
One of the most unforgettable aspects of HARD Summer 2024 was the incredible lineup of musical talent that graced the stages. Even with a packed schedule, the moments I spent at each set were absolute highlights of the festival. Wax Motif delivered a high-energy performance that was made even more special by a surprise guest appearance from Ty Dolla $ign, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Elderbrook and Disclosure both brought their signature sounds, weaving a sonic tapestry that left everyone wanting more. Mochakk kept the energy high, and the Fisher + Chris Lake (Under Construction) set was pure perfection—hit after hit, keeping the vibes alive. Etari kicked off the festival with an exceptional opening set on day one, setting the tone for the weekend.
Jamal Eid for Insomniac Events We even managed to make it to an after-party at Academy LA, where Sosa and Cloonee went b2b, delivering an experience that was nothing short of phenomenal. If they’re ever in town, I can’t recommend their performances enough. The newly added Jose Cuervo Locals Only Stage, along with the Boombox Art Car presented by Beatbox, were also standout additions, showcasing the vibrant local talent from Los Angeles. I caught sets from Cherry and Lechuga, who both impressed with their unique sounds. If you’re searching for new artists to follow, keep an ear out for them—they’re sure to make waves in the scene.
Gina Joy for Insomniac Events A Stellar Debut Amid Noise Concerns
While the festival was an overwhelming success, the loud beats and powerful bass didn’t go unnoticed by the surrounding community. Inglewood’s Mayor James Butts has already stated that future events at this location might face stricter regulations, especially after a surge of noise complaints. It’s a bittersweet note for HARD fans—this might have been the first and last time we experience HARD Summer at Hollywood Park. Despite this, the festival left an indelible mark on all who attended, and the memories will surely linger long after the echoes of the final bass drop fade.
Final Thoughts: Hoping For A Return
As a first-timer at HARD Summer, I was blown away by the sheer scale and energy of the festival. Additionaly, the urban environment added a fresh twist to the experience, and despite a few areas needing improvement, the weekend was nothing short of epic. Whether or not HARD Summer returns to Hollywood Park, one thing is certain—I’ll be back for more. Furthermore, here’s to hoping the stars align for another unforgettable chapter in the HARD Summer legacy. Lastly, for more information on all things HARD, be sure to check out their official website, here.

Space Riccione is located in an area of the Italian Riviera which is intrinsically linked with electronic music history. Its open-air setting, composed by three dancing area, makes Space Rirccione the perfect settings for Tale Of Us.
The massive LED wall, incredible light design, and crystal clear sound system made the experience even more enjoyable.
We talked about LED walls so, you could think of the iconic Anyma’s and Afterlife visuals but, no, this time Tale Of Us went dark and deep.
The giant dancefloor surrounded by vegetation and filled with palms made everything poetic.
Like what happened some weeks before at the Freedom stage at Tomorrowland, the duo delivered a series of IDs and new music, including some brand-new MRAK material.
The duo was not alone. Opening the night, Afterlife’s new wonderboy SCRIPT set the stage for a night that can’t even be told.
This was one of the few chances you get to experience Tale Of Us in the dark and mysterious mood, without distracting visuals and festivals’ limitations. A club night for the clubbers.
Next on the list for Space Riccione is Carl Cox’s Invites on the 14th of August.
If you want to catch Tale Of Us, they are currently running Afterlife Residency at Hi Ibiza and they’ll bring their iconic party to Milan this September.
More videos and photos are on our Instagram account.

It is one of the lead tracks released on his fourth and final album, “Avici (01) “. The track is a tribute to personal growth and the strength found in overcoming adversity. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing, and the realization of how pivotal a person can be in shaping one’s journey. These emotions are taken to a deeper level by Avicii’s masterful production, which combines the driving beat with melodic hooks.
The release of “Without You” also marks a significant point in Avicii’s career, serving as a reminder of his talent for crafting music that connects deeply with his listeners. It lives on as a testament to his ability to channel complex emotions into his work, creating songs that are as introspective as they are enjoyable. The infectious rhythm and compelling chorus make it both a dancefloor anthem and a heartfelt ballad.
Overall, the track remains a powerful example of how music can capture the ambience of human experience, blending the heartfelt lyrics with an engaging musical backdrop. It continues to resonate with listeners, serving as a lasting reminder of Avicii’s impact on the world of music and the emotional depth he brought to his craft.

Music makes the world go round. And in that regard, we’re constantly on the lookout for new, exciting tunes to share with our audience. We’ve found some that cause goosebumps, and make you open your eyes and get up from your chair to dance. So put on your best pair of headphones, or turn up your speakers, and enjoy this week’s New Music Friday.
Here are our top picks for the best music we came across this week, in no particular order. And remember, if you would like to contact us for a chance to feature your track on our page, head over to this link right here.
Amy Wiles – Here I Am
Genre: Trance (Old-School)
We had to give the first feature this week to Amy Wiles. Raised inside Anjuna HQ, she developed a unique sound which, initially a bit housier, now dares to go full-on Old School Trance mode. Recent sets from her and many of her singles have that spark of nostalgia we all know and love.
This week, she presented her long-awaited ‘Here I Am‘, a track that portrays a minimalistic structure and feelings of yesteryear, in the best way possible. If you couldn’t hear this one live as an ID, now it’s your chance to sing along to it. Catch her at any of her upcoming shows all over the world. And don’t forget to turn on the repeat function in your listening platform of choice.
Flowers On Monday & Erdi Irmak – Colors
Genre: Organic House
Three gigantic Organic House maestros collided today on Nick Warren’s esteemed imprint, The Soundgarden. A two-tracker that also includes a third remix, Flowers On Monday and Erdi Irmak released the Wild & Free EP, for a breath of lovely Organic, from those who know how to cook it to perfection.
Of the tracks present, we’re in love with ‘Colors‘, the flipside to the title track. Groovily ambient, yet heavy on the melodies too, there’s something in this track that makes you feel at home, for a certain reason. It kind of hugs you. The arpeggios go up and down in comfortable circles, and the bass peeks over to the higher registres every now and then. Everything weaves together seamlessly.
Seizmic – Better Days
Genre: Progressive House
UK-based Progressive House duo Seizmic also released a tune today. Making a name for themselves in a niche as crowded as Progressive House itself, the boys’ trademark is their blend of cutting-edge production with the iconic sounds of the earlier stages of the genre. This has yielded a recognisable identity, which can be seen on today’s release.
‘Better Days‘ is their latest belter, influenced by artists like Yotto and Eric Prydz. The track has a smart, elegant groove built with warm short leads and a catchy round of percussion, and over said bed of groove lies the core sound of Progressive: hypnotic melodies, arpeggios, and tons of tension-release games.

Durante – Ancora (Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Remix)
Genre: Deep House
Okay, we’ll admit we’re half-cheating with this one, but it’s so good we jus can’t let it go. Durante‘s debut album Enter just got refreshed in the form of the Enter (Remixed) product, a collection of reimagined takes of the tracks originally making up the LP. Among which, comes this absolute floor killer.
The renowned producer Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (TEED for short) reworked ‘Ancora‘, an already powerful track, but somehow, we don’t know how, took it to the next level. Literally one kick in, you’ll already feel the irresistible nature of TEED’s remix. It’s dry, super sharp, and frankly one of the tastiest tunes we’ve heard in a while.
Purple Disco Machine – Beat Fantasy
Genre: Deep House
GRAMMY award-winning producer Purple Disco Machine returned this week with a new single titled ‘Beat Fantasy‘. To be honest with you, it showcases the signature PDM aesthetic in all its glory. Yes, the hard-hitting one-man Disco army continues to slay with his infectious sound elevated by choir-like harmonies.
The track carries the same catchy melody that repeats throughout the entire way as you listen. His jumpy bassline keeps your body grooving as you reach for your sunglasses and rock out all summer long. What’s more, the famous vocal sample “Let the beat control your body” echoes in your ears, builds anticipation, hypnotizing you into a disco frenzy, as the beat explodes into a euphoric synth-driven drop.
MUST DIE! – The Light
Genre: Trapstep, Dubstep
Bass star MUST DIE! is back to obliterate the senses with his latest sonic assault, ‘The Light,’ released on Kannibalen Records. Following his label debut ‘Frequency Knife,’ he once again delivers a mind-melting anthem that demands to be heard.

MUST DIE!’s signature blend of cinematic atmosphere and bone-shattering basslines creates an immersive experience that transports listeners to another dimension. The track builds with a relentless intensity, culminating in a colossal drop that explodes into a chaotic burst of sound.

Summer just got a whole lot cooler. Out today is the unexpected, yet highly successful pairing of Shallou and Night Tales. The three minds have cooked up a Disco House gem titled ‘I Just Wanted to Dance‘, and it is a sneak peek into Shallou’s forthcoming EP, 24, summer. The project will be a retrospective of the music he made this summer, inspired by the feelings of the season.
Hailing from Washington, D.C., and now based in Los Angeles, Shallou has become a Dance luminary. From humble dorm room beginnings, he’s graced stages like Coachella and Lollapalooza, collaborating with artists like Daya, Elderbrook, and Bob Moses. His music is a blend of heart-wrenching vocals and infectious House beats.
Over on the other side of the collab, Night Tales, the duo with a global fanbase, bring a fresh perspective to Electronic music. Their sound has captivated audiences worldwide. After their debut album, Proof, and hits like ‘Only If‘, they’ve headlined festivals, toured Europe, and even made their Coachella debut.

Melting together sonic influences from the 70s with a feel-good, piano-driven bassline, this Disco House anthem invites its audience on an imaginative and exploratory adventure as both artists depart from their signature sound. The track does a great job of pairing yesteryear’s nostalgic sounds with today’s production techniques. Carefree, energetic, and unforgettable. ‘I Just Wanted to Dance‘ is the beginning of what promises to be a hot summer for both artists.
Shallou commented he and Night Tales had met up to brainstorm some ideas. They had created a track that combined their styles well, but with the session winding down, he was tired and unsure if they would produce anything further. However, he started experimenting with piano and gospel vocals, and together they developed a simple drop with vocal chops and House grooves.
Whereas Night Tales admit, “We wanted to make a Dance track that would unite people together without the allure of deep, lyric-heavy vocals. Our goal is for listeners to feel the intention immediately, through the sonic atmosphere and instrumentation, allowing themselves to get lost in feeling“.
