CLOSER (Velvett's Twisted DnB Remix)

A mesmerising journey into psychedelic Trip Hop, where Natali Williams' soaring soaring lead vocals blend seamlessly with Jo Sims' atmospheric accompaniment, crafting an auditory journey that’s both delicate and commanding
Together, they create an entrancing soundscape that’s dreamy yet assertive, while rhythmic, chugging beats drive the song forward with a compelling sense of momentum and groove.

LAY DOWN (Original Mix)

New York’s Warehouse Preservation Society deliver a fresh, more organic sounding remix, blending their tribal-toned percussion with Velvett's subtle yet pulsating bass line. These earthly beats invite you to tap your feet and nod your head. The result is a track perfectly suited for the chill-out room or late-night afters.

LAY DOWN (Warehouse Preservation Society Remix)

Dicky Continental's remix of ‘Lay Down’ is built around his signature live & sampled drums, loops from his tattered record collection with Jo and Natali’s vocals floating around the beats with breathy edginess. 
With a shout to past Pirate Radio memories this is a disjointed, soulful head nodder crossing boundaries in the usual Dicky Continental style.
