Superpoze – ‘Nova Cardinal’
“‘Nova Cardinale’ is an album conceived as a world rather than a story. A place made of sounds in which one can find a path, get lost or stay still and observe the surroundings. An album in which the tracks live on a grand scale, ranging from intimacy to emphasis. An album with perspective and vanishing points. It was an intimate and sensitive writing work, and also a real technical work of sound and production. Listening to the album, these two aspects seem to me indissociable today.”

‘Ohm’ turns on its axis like a glowing orb, charged with glistening life-force.

Jonas Blue x Sevenn – ‘Angles’
“‘Angles’ was a fun hook idea I had as a followup to my track ‘I Wanna Dance’, which also features my vocals. The idea kinda stemmed from social media and selfies, with people always trying to get their best angles on a photo. When we paired that hook with the music from the Booka Shade track, we knew we had something special. Sevenn coming on board and finishing it with me was the perfect fit to take this one to the next level.”

I can’t express how delighted I was when Renaissance said they wanted to keep them all together as an entire EP [‘Deepest Thoughts’].”
