arp299

blackwave. dream joyful on new single, ‘arp299’. Following up their last visual ‘Bittersweet Baby’, the second chapter of the video series takes its name from a galaxy 134 million lightyears away. The Belgian duo describe the song as ‘essentially about running away from everyday life. In the process of writing our debut album (space themed throughout) we sometimes wanted to leave everything behind, to run and not look back.’ It’s a desire many of us could relate to right now. 

The blend of soul sample chops and classic hip hop drums with a video that’s a clean burst of retro starshine gives us the slice of escapism we needed. Their sound, the warmth of 90’s De La Soul with a millennial twist is already building a global reputation and their slick new offering confirms that their star is set to rise.
