What DJs, artists, club nights, or genres are inspiring you right now? I’ve been listening to a lot of Brazilian Funk / Baile after a recent trip, it’s so upfront and percussion-driven, it’s great.

Looking to the realease of their anticipated debut album, Pools of Colour, junodream create us an eclectic, otherworldly mix tied together by a sense of wonder and alienation.
