Q: Before we dig in, what's next for you? (current or future projects)
Like everyone, we were mainly stuck at home for a year now. Apart from all the downsides that come from this, the most important thing is I was able to be very productive in the studio. I have my next single coming out on May 28 and will continue releasing music throughout the summer non-stop!

A Clean, simple, and sexy bassline that simply makes you move.
