Nicolas Haelg – ‘Gravity (2021 Edit)’
“Even five years after its original release, I still receive massive feedback on my track ‘Gravity’. It’s one of my most streamed tracks across platforms, and I was always a bit disturbed about the kick not being perfect. I always wanted to go back in time and use a softer one, especially when the track got placed in so many playlists. So when I heard about the label relaunch of The Bearded Man, which by the way pushed me hard and helped me build a lot of momentum for my song ‘Something Good’ back in 2015, I was more than happy to play my part with a new version of ‘Gravity’. Hope you guys dig it.”

Wax Tailor – ‘The Shadow Of Their Suns’
“‘The Shadow Of Their Suns’ is an allegory for the different kinds of powers that control our world. I’ve always kept this image in mind of the 99% who live in the shadow of these artificial lights, segregation, politics and mass-media. From a musical point of view, I really wanted to give more space to instrumental arrangements and my own storytelling around this topic. I’m not a lesson-giver but nothing is really neutral, we live in a sick world and music can be food for thought so I’ve tried to work in this direction.”
