Head in the Clouds // Radio ARA // EPISODE 19 // 21.03.2023

We are two Luxembourg-based record diggers who love warm, organic, analogue, eclectic and deep sounds which bring to mind tropical sunsets, campfire parties on the beach, humid jungle nights and star-filled skies. Maracas, vintage synths, saxophones, drum computers and echo machines are common ingredients.
