MCDE consistently conceives compelling creations that connect through clarity. This remix of Jazzanova is no exception, hoppy hats, visceral vocals with a wholesome warm slow synth.

Redshape‘s recent double track release on Running Back Records is a righteous romper. The first ‘Floor’ is a jingling swarm of mysterious moods with a steady synth sweep. The second ‘Goom’ brings a bit of boom; with classic drum machine patterns and a swaying tail of tension through a resonating riff.
