On their debut album ‘Sudden Light,’ Lisbon-based duo MXGPU combine their love of live music and drum & bass, digging deep in the groove while floating on melody. In this exclusive commentary, Moullinex (Luís Clara Gomes) and GPU Panic (Guilherme Tomé Ribeiro) discuss the making of key album tracks. Album opener “take me home” set the tone: “We knew it was a golden gem.” The “dark yet sunny” track “little love” always felt “beautiful and powerful to both of us.” In this fast-paced world, the track “slow down” is a reminder to cherish those moments when “time stands still, your focus peaks, and you can hear your own heart beating.” Hear more from MXGPU, only on SoundCloud.
