I think they must have had some major technical difficulties yesterday. Andy set up the Dragon Trax discount code in the morning but it landed in my email inbox about 8 hours later after 5pm!

I loved how Emily asked to do this rework, she requested the stems saying "asking for a me" which made me smile

And it's typically excellent work from a producer who as we know is hitting the peak of her powers

Soondaze also includes music from @safrankomark.bsky.social and @ireless.bsky.social
