2nd Realm vol.2 is OUT NOW on Bandcamp
27 FREE Footwork trax

https://hesk.bandcamp.com/album/2nd-realm-vol-2

Step into DJ Hesk's world with "2nd Realm Vol. 2," the awaited sequel to "2nd Realm." This expansive release, featuring an impressive array of 27 tracks, delves deep into the vibrant sounds of Chicago Footwork, intertwining the rhythmic complexities of Footwork with the undertones of R&B.

DJ Hesk demonstrates genre-blurring, seamlessly blending Chicago's Footwork and Juke roots with the contemporary sounds of R&B. The synthesis is enriched further by synths inspired by the works of Mamman Sani and Hailu Mergia. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that not only pays homage to the Chicago Footwork tradition but also propels it into uncharted territory.

"2nd Realm Vol. 2" is also a collaborative endeavor, featuring exciting partnerships with a diverse lineup of artists, including Paveun, Nora Zion, 2Tall, StylezTR, DJ YB, and Korea Town Acid.

Standout Tracks: "Dirty Dancin", "You" (ft Korea Town Acid), "Whoa" (ft Nora Zion), "Don't Leave Me This Way" (ft Paveun)
