Party Favor – ‘Whenever You’re Around’
“This song [‘Whenever You’re Around’] first started life as a session with my friend Drew Love way back before the pandemic. We never really ended up doing anything with the idea, but over the past year as I was working on all this new music, I remembered the vocals and reopened the project. I was able to totally flip and resample Drew’s voice into something completely removed from where it started, and I turned it into what I think of as a more ‘Party Favor’ version of a house beat. Super happy with the way this shaped up and feel like it’s such a unique take.”

Aiden Francis – ‘Elegy’
“‘Elegy’ was essentially written for those early morning walks home from the club with the sun rising and the world around you waking up. It was written one early morning after I got home from a rave at the White Hotel, Manchester at the beginning of March 2020 where I wanted to document that blissful feeling after a night of partying. Without me knowing when I first started writing the track, it would be my last rave before the UK’s Covid-19 lockdown came into effect. Subsequently, I carried on working on the track through the early part of lockdown where the track took on a whole new meaning. An elegy to a time, a feeling and a place we were all hoping to get back.”
