Whats up friends! We hope you're enjoying the summer as much as we are. We're extremely excited to share this set with you. This is a live pa from long time Detroit artist and gear fanatic Percival. No description I could come up with will accurately explain how dynamic of a set this is. Just take a listen. We promise you'll love it. Enjoy!

About Percival:

Percival is the culmination of hardware and the decision to move farther into deeper minimal soundscapes. Live sets and productions range in sound from ambient textures to soulful deep tech with an emphasis on organic audio and the sound generated from a range of different audible sources. A great deal of Percival’s work has been the development of live performance through the exact same tools used in the studio to give the listener a true representation of the current mood and productions available online both digitally and physical copies as well.

Hi! We've got our second free download for you! We're excited about this one. The Twin Cousin boys remastered & re-edited a favorite of theirs, SLAB. Its an extremely fun tune. Playful vocals, syncopated drums, and a unique vibe only Doug and Ross could cook up. If you didn't know, you do now... Quality work!

What It Is founder, John Johr, stepped up and delivered a moody remix that took original to completely different place. Melodic elements and staggered drums highlight already amazing vocals. The addition of some vocal texture and new percussive elements made the track a perfect blend of deep and dancey. Summertime heat!

Enjoy!
