With "Melting," Hulk Hoffmann channels the energetic drum patterns, mellow basslines, floating delays, and synthesizer riffs that characterize his unique sound.

low& the fusion of two creative musical minds with a combined 40 years of audio experience, one hailing from Brazil, the other from Germany. It is rumoured that both independently caught the same low-end signal some 18 years ago - it landed them on a shared spatial plane, otherwise known as ‘London’, whereupon they discovered a shared fascination in underground music and particularly deep and groovy frequencies. „Warped“ is am audio worm , a stream of music making that changes and defines itself while it is played. It creates itself out of itself . One could say it is life inside of their own private idaho. A world quite fantastic, funky and unpredictable.
