Giuseppe Ottaviani – ‘Slow Emotion 4′
Like its first three incarnations, ‘Slow Emotion 4‘ is quick to toy with the pace and tone expectations that have — over time — gathered around Giuseppe Ottaviani’s music. The track pumps and bleeps its way through a fiery intro, before flaring the pitch-wheel and timeslipping its tempo, dropping into a slow march. Backed by warpingly techy bass, the track takes a distinct turn for the meta, as this track becomes sentiently self-aware and starts to vocally narrate its own arc.

Jody Wisternoff – ‘Nightwhisper’

You realize it’s strong enough to make it through any situation and even if everything fell apart around you, you’d have the strength of the bond to help you both rebuild.”
— Jeffrey James
