David Schumaier and Daniel Helmstedt return to the spotlight with their latest release on the Manual Deep record label, presenting two captivating tracks: Fortuna and Awakening. This marks their second collaborative endeavor, following the success of their first joint effort, Lights, which debuted on Manual Music's most recent Manualism compilation album.

Fortuna is a lush, synth-heavy exploration of melodic house.
