Paul Oakenfold – ‘Shine On’
“I feel incredibly lucky to be in a position where I’m able to work with this caliber of vocalists and producers; from legends like Benny Benassi to Eve to Cee Lo Green and Aloe Blacc. ‘Shine On’ has been a labor of love for me over the past two years, and a new album is just as exciting for me now, three decades plus into my career, as it was for me at the start.”

DVRKO – ‘Undone’
“It’s been a goal of mine to create a beautiful piece of work to really show people what DVRKO is all about, this was initially supposed to be an EP (5 songs) and as I fell into months of creation it birthed itself into a full length album. I created the album [‘Undone’] at my home studio on loads of modular and vintage synths. Had the opportunity to work with some amazing vocalists, Rama Duke, RUNN, Tyler Graves and SIRAH. Ultimately I did what felt good and honest to me, feel good house records for the exception of the hard hitting ‘Talk That Shit’ with SIRAH which is prob one of my favs from the body of work. Coming back from performing at EDC I was so inspired it just came naturally. I’ve been working really hard building modular synths and sound design.”
