Forthcoming on Elevate Zero Music is this two tracker by myself. Both tracks have been standing out in my sets for the greater part of this year and I'm excited to finally share these with you.

"Movement" is a cinematic and mystic journey; the perfect storm of ethereal vocals and dreamy synths. This one worked really well during the sunset on hot summer days.

"Deviate" is a driving melodic techno track specifically crafted for maintaining an energy peak. A dark, rolling bassline, piercing stabs and a hypnotic vocal. Straight to the point and guaranteed dancefloor material.

Release date: 14-11-2025
