Breakout Brazilian talent Roddy Lima continues his rapid ascent with the release of his latest single “SIDE2SIDE,” a collaboration with SURAYA, arriving April 24 via MADMINDS, the imprint founded by Layton Giordani.
Marking his debut on the New York-based house and techno label, “SIDE2SIDE” lands as a confident and high-impact first offering.
