Nugget – Midnight Sonata | Orchestral

Trying something very different to their debut release, Nugget brings us this gentle piano-led orchestral piece. It’s very harmonically interesting and seems to make use of a couple of different modes and scales! Its bittersweet sound and backstory is a reflection of its inspiration, as it serves as a lovely tribute to Nugget’s late great-grandmother.

Totalspark – Paradigm | Liquid Drum & Bass

This sweet Liquid Drum & Bass track sets the stage right away with a soft beat, shiny piano, flowing pads, deep sub bass, everything just sounds so polished and shiny. You’ll absolutely love it.
