OUT FRIDAY The 3rd single from Above the Clouds is 'One 4 Detroit'. Out on ltd 7" vinyl & digital & featuring an amazing remix from Detroit's own 14KT Pre-Order now & get a download of the OG version of the track (featured in this clip) straight away. abovetheclouds.bandcamp.com/album/one-fo...
I like playing my vinyl because it encourages musical mindfulness. The act of having to get up, examine the record, flip it, and/or change it for the next one forces me to be more present with the music. Streaming is convenient but you lose that feel.
