REVIEW: “BURNING PAPER EP” by Manonmars & Bogues x Ishan Sound & Neek
DNO Records are back with “DNO008” and, if you’ll excuse my language: god damn it’s crushing.

Released on June 8th, 2022, “Watermelon” by Jomari has been rattling around my digital crate for several months. It’s a tune of laid back vibes, mellow basslines and sprinkling Rhodes keys. I was lucky enough to play music on a powered sound system earlier this year and I made absolutely sure to rinse this track…
