Fabio XB x Linnea Schossow x Khrys Kloudz – ‘Run The Sky’

Together we honor Fabio’s incredible work and all the amazing music he gave us and we make a difference for those who need our help the most.

OTR x Au/Ra – ‘Broken (Stripped)’

pølaroit – ‘Underwater’
Somewhere between melodic downtempo and uplifting melodies, pølaroit creates sound journeys, as well as outstanding live sets, that are truly memorable. Their upcoming EP, ‘Pure’, continues to draw on the dichotomy of these two emotions but this time around there’s a bigger sense of presence and liveliness. The EP’s first single, ‘Underwater’ is a vibrant entry to pølaroit’s sound world. Catchy in a very palpable sense, the track encompasses the duo’s desire for honesty by the use of a detuned piano. Their interest in “keeping things real” also informs the gear they choose to work with – mainly analog synths and tape machines – as well as, of course, their collaboration with singer Margret who adds warmth and intimacy to the track through her voice.
