Released today, “State Of Your Soul” by Berlin/London duo HOST, is one hypnotic dance track, with great, steady beats and soothing, alluring vocals.

Following the single releases “Parlance”, “Elder Statesman” and “Truth or Dare” comes now the debut album “A Certain Fractal Light” of Nottingham trio In Isolation. As early fans of the previous singles, we’re especially thrilled to give our readers the opportunity to listen to the album ahead of its release. While this is In[…]
