Song Production Information

SLAKE

Taking a handsome man's drum'n bass and pouring on the old man's broth full force, with a bit too fast of a BPM makes it exactly right. The entanglement of a moog-like synthesizer sound with a jazzy rhode's riff makes it feel nice. The secret is the sexy voice that is an old man reasoning.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

An old apartment with stairs installed on the outer wall line up along downtown... a never ending shadow hidden underneath a narrow alleyway... suddenly a black cat passes through there... So is the life of the inner city that seems to always intercept the light.

In such a street, everybody that's living are active and cool, by the way thrilling and speedy. Then, I help convey with raw pressing that cultivated habitat's groove!!
