Regarding the release, Sam Wolfe share:
“For every new track, I set out to infuse my aggressive energy within a different world. With ‘Govinda,’ I took this classic Hindu chant and created a soundscape around it that would hit on the dancefloor. This time, I went for a deeper kick that was smooth to listen to and focused on the groove more with a little psytrance feel that reminded me of my time spent in Goa.”
