After an intro that perfectly fits with the previous song, the track quickly turns into an exotic chaos. As the producer, who was born in New-Zealand, explains: “Azul” meaning “Blue” in Brazilian Portuguese, represents the beautiful blue skies and vast ocean underneath.” The track was inspired by his travel to Brazil.

It’s like if the machines of a factory were dancing altogether. The track is taken from the album “PHOENIXXX”, due to be released on August 19 via the emblematic Planet Mu Records. Then, let’s go back to the peace and quiet serenity of littleBoy, a new act that convinced us with “And Then He Enters.”

Impossible to ignore Clark when we talk about experimental music. The track is particularly rough and should give you the need to stamp and put your hands up in the air.
