M4A4 - Undercover CastleAfter a 2020 that saw releases on Running Out Of Steam and Object of Desire, M4A4 brings his laid back house & garage stylings to Distant Horizons on Undercover Castle. Opening track Avera is a skeletal 4x4 stomper, lined with a whompy bass & crystalline chords while Sunriser is a more dubbed out, hazy house roller. The flip side opens with the sensitive minimal 2 step cut She and New Citys bubbling bassline ensure the release ends on a groovy tip!

All these elements coalesced in the studio and the two-tracker materialised in a couple of days
