RELEASES
Berwyn has released two new tracks, ‘3450’ and ‘Chasing Lights (Demo)’. “’3450’ understands the trauma that has been left by other experiences, it dwells on what has shaped who I am”, he says. “’Chasing Lights’ continues that reflection in the present moment, after the unpacking. A little window into where my head’s at with it all now. All in all I’m just dancing along my own timeline”.
Commodo has released new EP ‘Mysterious Trax 002’. Check out ‘Eyewitness’, which is just so bloody good.
Check out our weekly Spotify playlist of new music featured in the CMU Daily – updated every Friday.
