The sky was alive with a roaring melody and an electric undercurrent. Travelling through the early morning they would soon arrive at their destination on the other side of the globe, a magic ride with a spectacular touchdown. The plane hummed and buzzed as the mechanics began to spring into life, the wings moved under the strain of the robotics and inside the cabin the pressure dropped. It was a beautiful moment and the crowd in the base below began to cheer. This was flying. 

North Lake is a producer whom we have always felt to be remarkably underrated, previous appearances have seen him release prominently on Permanent Vacation, Resista, Origami Sound and Ellum Audio. Now he delivers a new EP for Phonica Records on their in house label.
