Ahead of his debut album, Belgian producer Jerro returns with his blissful indie electronic ballad “Lost For Words” via Lane 8’s record label This Never Happened. Enlisting a stirring vocal feature from Australia’s own Panama, this emotive cut is painted with deep shades of warmth. An immersive listen with textured synths and engulfing electronic melodies, the collaborative effort is swathed in comfort and artistic synchronicity. Panama’s familiar vocal instrument melts like butter atop Jerro’s subtly surging synths work breathing life into a harmonic digital lullaby. Yet another enthralling single ahead of his highly-anticipated debut LP, Jerro reminds listeners that he’s an authentic force to be reckoned with at the forefront of emerging alternative dance music.

BEN BOHMER & PANAMA -WEIGHTLESS
Music, Original MixCommentI know one thing for sure … I would not have made it through this past 12 months of this pandemic without the sweet sweet sounds of Ben Bohmer. All his vibes are all anyone needs for a little anxiety relief and solo dance party! I’ve been raving about this young Anjunadeep artist for a minute, so I am not surprised to see him release with Future Classic and Panama on this new track “Weightless.” It’s swirly and dreamy and ohhhh so magical, the perfect deep house jam to please the soul. Weeee!
OTR - DRIVE
Music, Original MixCommentFor his third original release of the year, dance pop standout OTR is teaming up with Jarrah McCleary’s Sydney-based synthpop group Panama for “Drive,” out now via Astralwerks. “Drive” is elegant and complex, firmly establishing OTR as one of the most introspective and forward-thinking producers around. It’s OTR at his deepest, combining his emotive, thought-provoking style with the comfort and simplicity of heartfelt lyricism. With delicacy and grace, OTR has breathed fresh air into dance music with an emphasis on being and feeling, rather than just listening. Radiating new dimensions of sensitivity and eloquence, OTR’s foray into a new sound is daring and gracefully accomplished, a patent embrace of vulnerable artistry that speaks to his story to date.

PANAMA - JUNGLE (LUKA EDIT)
Music, RemixCommentThe vibes on this Saturday morning are chill and I'm definitely in my special place, at my computer with my puppy on my lap, coffee in my hand, and this fabulous track in my headphones. I have no plans for the day and I give 0 fucks about it ... I may just stay in my pajamas and eat pizza. With such sweet jams from a young producer like Luka, why not have the perfect day? His version of "Jungle" by Panama is so dreamy, it's the quintessential future feels on that chill vibe tip, can I get an amen? Glitchy rhythms and heavy bass with fuzzy vocals kept in the background, as if we are being sweetly serenaded from a distance. Luka killed this one -- brilliant! This one dropped officially via Future Classic, definitely worth swooping up!
