Out now on 2020Vision comes two fresh takes on the classic Kings Of Tomorrow (Sandy Rivera) track ‘Flutez’, firstly from Rivera himself and then Audiojack. Rivera has been releasing music under his K.O.T. guise for just about twenty years, through influential labels such as Strictly Rhythm, NRK, Defected, Slip ‘n’ Slide, and Deep Vision – …

Dalliance, The second album from Atlanta, Georgia’s Gold-Bears, is described as a record about regret. On For You, the band have emerged from the other side of regret and into a firm defiance.
