TRACK: Self Destruct – Slayyyter ft. Wuki
Happy Halloween! Self Destruct is like the horror movie of our dreams. If you get too close, you’ll get bitten. But there’s something about it that’s too sweet to resist. Feisty, dark and fiercely dramatic, the latest spook-inspired track by Slayyyter is devishly enticing.
TRACK: Meteorite – KESMAR
Meteorite is like a musical Xanax. There’s something about it that trickles down from the top of your head and through your body, washing over it with a sense of relaxation. A reliable piano centres the track as synths and sound effects duck and weave between it. With some kind of youthful joy that’s completely uncomplicated, KESMAR (a.k.a Nathan Hawes) has created a happy tune that will take you wherever you need it to.
