False Light

Marco V

Maelstrom

WE SAY

Following three singles doing well on the European dance charts, the Dutch DJ/producer releases this distinctive track that doesn't sound like a lot else around. Regional specialist radio have picked up on it early and Judge Jules included it in his 'Best of the Year' show on Radio 1. It's now gone on the Upfront list at the station and with its strong production and original vocal from co-producer Benjamin Bates there's no reason why it shouldn't crossover.
