I heard this one at the Balance festival in Croatia back in the summer and, of course, I’m a big fan of what Aubrey does, having released his music on my label, Bedrock. “Another track I really loved in this mix is FAFF.’s ‘A Few Good Days.’ The production on this one sounds like an early-’90s rave record—this could easily have been a record from The Sabres of Paradise or One Dove. The whole EP this was taken from is worth checking out. “Wrapping up is Kade B’s ‘Wasted.’ This one has got a really beautiful vocal and works well on the dance floor, but it’s equally a perfect sunset record too.
