Almost Like We Met debuts with their inaugural release, featuring WRDO. The label is set to unveil WRDO's full-length album, kicking off the journey with the mesmerizing single 'Minimal Man.' Infusing a unique blend of subtle disco nuances with WRDO's signature eccentricity, this track is a captivating bass-driven roller that guides listeners through an exhilarating odyssey. WRDO burst onto the scene in 2019, making a powerful entrance with numerous releases on Dirtybird after discovering Claude VonStroke's music, which reignited his passion for creating music. We're incredibly grateful that WRDO returned to the music scene because we absolutely adore his unique style!
