"Our personal goal was to create an album, that works on the dancefloor and at home as well when you simply wanna listen and enjoy.
We worked with many new and known singer/songwriters, who were inspired by our music, as much as their lyrical skils brought out the best in us. These smooth cooperations made it possible to show the widest range of music ever on any of our albums, going from laid-back tunes, up to what we are known for: energetic club tracks.
We thinl our progression as producers and DJs gets reflected in these 12 new songs, and we hope the fans follow our musical development since "Earth Mover" and read the signs of the times"
