Tinlicker – ‘In Another Lifetime’
“These last two years saw the creation of a parallel universe in which human beings had to reinvent themselves whether they wanted to or not. We experienced a lot of lows in this process, but also beautiful highs – in some moments it felt like everything was about to slip through our fingers, while other days the process brought a lot of peace. For us, the title ‘In Another Lifetime‘ captured this journey.”

Praga Khan’s textured vocal hypnotizes and lulls the listener throughout its entirety, lending yet another atmospheric element to the rapturous sonic endeavor. In all, the new take on ‘Breakfast in Vegas‘ is a monumental release that nostalgically harkens back to the rave days of the early 2000s.

Tibi Dabo – ‘Isla’
“What to do with our time on earth? Find an island of joy and comfort, a modest retreat. A place to stay sane… I was feeling quite empty during our months of isolation, no influences and no external inputs. Then this idea of creating a conceptual island came to existence, an entity where I could play and put contrasting influences of electronic music together in one place. My little island was born, a space I feel as an optimistic outlook towards the future, something that I find hard to achieve.”
