Juicebox Music's 63rd release sees Dowden and Forty Cats teaming up for a 2-track EP featuring “Orbit” and “Airtime”. Initially making her debut on our label with another collaborative EP with fellow countrymen from Russia – Meeting Molly and Mango and then following up with a single release titled “Moscow Time”, Christina Gavrilova aka Forty Cats has become an integral part of our roster. While Dowden, better known to his family and friends as Brenden Dowden, recently joined the label with a remix of Alan Cerra's “Arrival” early this year. Equipped with an arsenal of techniques by being a music production instructor and inspired by a fairly wide-ranged style as well, Dowden's carved his name into becoming a household name for many fans and DJs alike. Collectively, Dowden and Forty Cats' music can be found on well established imprints like Hernan Cattaneo's 'Sudbeat', Lane 8's 'This Never Happened', Mango's 'Mango Alley', Eran Aviner's 'Edge' + GMJ and Matter's 'Meanwhile' to name a few. With this first ever collaboration between the two, Dowden and Forty Cats' delve into their strengths to create a perfect balance. Embracing a theme around space, “Orbit” gets powered by a strong drive with softer floating melodies while “Airtime” embraces the groovier side with delayed riffs swirling about with special oratory notes slotted in.

We're excited to welcome back Alan Cerra as the sole remixer on this release. Relatively new in the industry, the Santa Cruz (Argentina) based artist has been releasing some amazing music over the past 3 years with highlighted labels such as Roger Martinez's 'Higher States', Armen Miran's 'Hoomidaas', Integral Bread's 'Univack' as well as Mike Koglin and MoodFreak's 'YOMO' to name a few. Having made his first appearance on our imprint with “Caravan” on our inaugural edition of Fables and then following up with a 2-track EP featuring “Henkere” and “Arrival”, which featured a remix from Dowden, it seemed fitting to have Alan return the favour. Alan Cerra's rendition of “Airtime” retains the tonal flavour of the original's elements but with a more oomph to crank the vibe level up to eleven.
