We are proud to welcome Turkish producer Unus Emre to our label with his EP "Wisdom" including remixes by Griffin Hanekamp from Berlin and Yuuki Hori from Japan. 4 tracks, 4 dancefloor bombs. Wisdom (Original Mix) and Endless (Original Mix) are powerful and catchy melodic ballads while Yuuki Hori brings with his remix, a more minimal and techno vision and Griffin Hanekamp a more housy and deep touch. What a job guys!
