It also features gorgeous vocals, an interpolation of Jade’s classic “Don’t Walk Away,”…

  • If you’re getting bored with EDM, well, I really couldn’t blame you. In fact, I am, too. But today we have a two song EP from Ckrono & Slesh, a duo hailing from Florence, Italy, and it’s a stimulating blend of kudoro (something I’d never heard of before), Afro-house, funk, dub and even a bit…

  • If you miss the days of ’90’s club music, you’re going to rejoice when you hear this one.
