Easy Lover (Four Tet Remix)

Pre-order: https://lnk.to/PW008S2

For the next @prettyweirdrecords release, @chloerobinsondj and @djadhdgotbngrz team up on a four-track techno record reiterating the trusted adage of less being more. With an emphasis on space and silence placed intuitively, the ‘Steamin’ EP finally gets its much-anticipated drop this September alongside a killer remix from close friend @four-tet.

On ‘Pax', Chloé and Alex return with the stripped-back rhythm and textures that find their power through no-frills, unpretentious simplicity.
