Eugene Delta - Siren Call 

“Siren Call” by Eugene Delta is aptly named because the song has the same dreamy atmospheric vibe as an actual siren’s call. The song is absolutely mesmerising in its soundscape with a hypnotising ambience that is perfectly complemented by Eugene’s chant-like vocal performance. Pure polished excellence from start to finish, the song carries an introspective message about temptation and greed.

Max Bien Kahn weaves an intricate tapestry of bright summery melodies with his release “Afternoon”. The song is unrelentingly upbeat and jovial with its tone and the melodies are well paired with Max’s laid back smooth vocal style. A song unsurprisingly about the peaceful serenity of a lazy afternoon, you are transported to your happy place as you listen to this song. The acoustic drumming as well as the funky bassline give this song a nostalgic soundscape reminiscent of the late 60s.
