While “The Waters” leaned into warmth and atmosphere, the second single, “Where We Started,” pushes more directly toward the dancefloor. Featuring London-born saxophonist, composer, bandleader, and Tomorrow's Warriors alumnus David Kayode, the track builds around relentless percussion, hypnotic spoken-word motifs, rolling basslines, and bright synth textures.

As the tape machine clicks into action, Kayode's bold and expressive saxophone lines weave through the rhythmic intensity, gradually transforming the track into a meditation on cycles, roots, and return. Streeton explains: "I was already a big fan of David, and a friend of mine, the broken beat producer Cengiz, put me in touch after he recorded on his track MOTF. I sent him the demo for "Where We Started," and it's safe to say he absolutely nailed it - particularly the Afrobeats line that instantly made the hook of the track."

As warped synths and slowed tape textures eventually collapse back into silence, the track mirrors the wider themes explored throughout "Iridescence": the search for identity and place within an increasingly saturated and fast-moving world. Growing up surrounded by jazz, funk, soul, jungle, and house music before discovering London's deeply interconnected creative communities, STREETON views the album as a reflection of both personal growth and collective experience.

Originally hailing from the rural surroundings of Hertfordshire before relocating to London almost a decade ago, Streeton has steadily emerged as a distinctive voice within the UK bruk and future-jazz underground. His productions combine warm musicality, bouncy basslines, rich chords, and percussion-led grooves with the kind of club-focused energy that makes his sound equally suited to dancefloors, headphones, and late-night listening sessions.

Coming to prominence through releases on respected labels including Dance Regular, Darker Than Wax, To The Rock, and Boogie Café - alongside appearances at We Out Here Festival and broadcasts for Rinse FM and Voices Radio - Streeton has become part of a new generation carrying broken beat traditions into new territory while remaining deeply connected to their roots. That balance between dancefloor energy and detailed songwriting ultimately led to the creation of "Iridescence," due March 2027 on Sonar Kollektiv.
