Release info:
This month we have chosen to release Hidden Gems EP, produced by our resident artist Zuat-Zu. In this occasion, we want to bring you some hypnotic deep tracks without fillers.
We have classified “My little box” as a track with pure hypnotic-sedative effect. The deep chords and pads will take your mind to a higher plane while the beat and basslines will keep you dancing for a long time! “Offside” has a different approach. The track has a particular blend between Deep and Tech-House, featuring rough sounds and catchy beats. This release is loaded with energy and is pretty much guaranteed to inspire your deeper soul! Enjoy another fine release.
