NATIIVE - REWIND
Music, Original MixComment

Fusing elements of UK Garage with modern synths and melodies, the emerging producer is looking to stake his claim among house music’s global elite.
“When I made this track, It was right around when quarantine was beginning to be lifted, and I was feeling a bit nostalgic of the past. I was listening to a lot of house music - reminiscent of that era when I got into production and electronic music. I produced 90% of the track in one sitting over the course of a couple hours and then I went about my day haha… Coming out of the year we’ve all been in, with the pandemic and being in lockdown, ‘Rewind’ to me is reflective, remembering the great times and remembering to not take for granted the great moments in life. Just have fun.” - NATIIVE
