Netzwerk (Falls Like Rain)

We say

After shifting over 1.4 million copies worldwide of their debut hit Sonnentanz, which we featured almost a year ago, Klangkarussell finally return with this follow-up and it's already Top 20 in their native Austria as well as in Switzerland and Belgium. The stats for the duo to date are mind-boggling considering this is only their second single release. Their total Spotify streams now exceed 38 million, YouTube views are over 22 million and SoundCloud plays are 55 million and counting. We heard Annie Mac premiere this way back in April and support has followed from fellow Radio 1 DJs Pete Tong and Danny Howard, Mistajam at 1Xtra, Wideboys on Kiss and MOS on Capital Xtra. After sold-out dates at XOYO and Cargo in April, they return to London on July 19 to play this year's Lovebox festival, shortly before the release of their debut album Netzwerk on August 4. Unless you suffer from vertigo, we recommend the superb video for the track too, featuring Ukrainian urban free climber Mustang Wanted, whose exploits will truly make you gasp. With tons of remixes from Shy FX & Mark System, Camo & Krooked, Adam Freeland, Ten Ven and Sean Roman, this feels like another absolute summetime smash here in the UK. Welcome back, chaps.
