Founded by Da Luka and Jorgio Kioris, roku arrives in grand fashion with a much-anticipated
single from Da Luka and Aman Anand. Hailing from Albania, Da Luka emerged from his
country's electronic music landscape a decade ago. Whether operating in solo capacity or
alongside frequent production partner Jorgio Kioris, Da Luka's creative vision would summon
the praise of progressive music tastemakers Cid Inc, Guy J, Eelke Kleijn, Hernan Cattaneo, Nick
Warren and more, in turn leading to releases via Droid9, Juicebox Music, Movement Recordings
and WARPP. Meanwhile, Indian born, Singapore based artist Aman Anand has enjoyed similar
success across his eleven-year career. With a cutting-edge style, Aman has become beloved
within the progressive music spectrum, recording standout projects for Juicebox Music, Mango
Alley and Sudbeat, while also earning play and support from the genre's elite guard in Guy J,
Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren. Now, for roku's inaugural offering, Da Luka and Aman
combine their extensive forces for the first time, presenting the much anticipated single
'Mythical Creatures', alongside remixes from Golan Zocher and Kamilo Sanclemente and Chris
Cargo.

The release concludes with Chris Cargo making his label debut with the second and final
interpretation of 'Mythical Creatures'. The Irish artist was an integral part of the progressive
house movement that happened in the late nineties. Perhaps best known for his productions
on Mara's Choo Choo label, label, Chris also appeared on Renaissance and Automatic Records.
Following a long absence Chris made a well-received return to the scene in 2017 and has since
compiled an impressive discography, highlighted by releases via John OO Fleming's JOOF
Recordings, Juicebox Music, Mango Alley and his own If You Wait imprint. Fresh off projects for
Tash's Movement Recordings to end the year, Chris begins 2023 by putting a deeper, more
atmospheric spin on 'Mythical Creatures'. Warm and inviting throughout; its re-shaped low end
provides a smooth anchor for balmy effects and heavenly sonics to work their magic. A blissful
centrepiece sits at the heart of the journey, highlighted by creamy melodies, evolving
atmospherics and bulbous bass swells; an emotive amalgamation of sound which perfectly sets
the stage for a tasteful finale.
