His immaculately-crafted rhythms routinely finding their way into the sets of the most esteemed and cosmically-rooted jocks, while his sound effortlessly floats between and beyond the kaleidoscopic Balearic boundaries.

The EP opens with the immersive waves of the title track, where intricate synth layers are carefully intertwined across chords and rolling rhythms, before acid lines and ever-building orchestration rises to a star-gazing climax. 'Hours Were Ours' plays out an enchanting melody, with harmonic layers blissfully assembled over mid-tempo drums, dramatic strings and pulsing synths lifting the introspective mood for a truly absorbing deep-dive. 'Sound Of The Sun' joyously raises the spirits, with summery chords that power delicate synth arpeggios over soul-stirring strings and synth bass.
