BIG sound on both these tracks without even trying ...Or sounding too "epic".
"Berlin" has a sweaty vocal that sets the mood, a nice, understated melody and some tricked-out percussion as it goes along.
"Surprise Me" really starts pumping right from the get-go and again, leads into some really sweet, interwoven melodies. Nice work with the synthesis and programming some very cool sounds that are used well in the mix.
Killer release!
