We’ve been waiting for this one for a while and finally Melodiesinfonie‘s first LP is here. It is really interesting and inspiring that some young producers are choosing to adopt the more jazzy and soulful sampled-based approach instead of the Trap sound that is so popular. If you follow our …

Future Classic: High Klassified “Palindroma”
