"The glimmer in our eyes gallops as a wild stallion toward infinity, and in a screaming silence, wears the cape of innocent understanding. Our love is grave danger, which doesn't shy away from its fate. There is nothing to be afraid of tonight. Love is the bastard child of the Heavens and the pits of Hell, it encompasses the entirety of human suffering. What if we isolate it to a singular moment? Quick and wonderful moments, without trying to hold on to it and wanting it to stay forever?"

Tofistock has become one of our go to labels since their first 'Movie Makers' VA back in 2018; we've watched the imprint come into its own, building a close-knit family of artists whilst refining their sound, which swirls around hypnotic trance, low slung trip hop and organic rhythms. For their next instalment, label heads Olsvangèr and MYKI keep it in the family. Alongside two solo cuts, another under Ols' DJ Headshot alias in partnership with Matris, they round off the release together under their new project Babylon X with trance-tinged title track 'Hyper Love'.
