Having teamed up on eight previous releases, Romanian-born, London-based GruuvElement's and Athens-based Manolaco have become a dynamic duo, showcasing their rich house sound on labels like Manda Moor and Sirus Hood's Mood Child, as well as Damian Lazarus' Rebellion. With previous tracks championed by renowned artists such as Marco Carola, Maceo Plex, and Chelina Manuhutu, the pair now unveil their next release and head to Ilario Alicante's Sound D'Elite with the enchanting "Kitame."

Opening the package, "Kitame" is a vibrant track with sultry percussive loops, playful bongos, and lush string sounds, creating a perfect backdrop for those early morning sunrise moments. Next, "When You Said" unfolds with rich melodic chords and expressive melodies, beautifully layered with gentle vocal calls that resonate deeply. The Tribal Version stays true to the original's essence, infused with a compelling afro-house groove and bubbling, low-end thuds. To close, "So Much Better Now" possesses a quirky allure and offbeat funk, blending dreamy vocals that are hard to resist.
