Hot Meal Records · Bad Boombox, Mischluft – Make You Trip [HOTMEAL017]“I’ve always admired Fritz’s (Mischluft’s) approach to building tension in his tracks,” says Bad Boombox. “Working with him pushed me into new territory. This EP is funkier, darker, and hits harder than anything I’ve done before.”



[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/2010536447" params="color=#ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%" height="166" iframe="true" /]

Hot Meal Records · Bad Boombox, Mischluft – Out at the Club (feat. MCYL) [HOTMEAL017]Mischluft adds, “On The Pressure EP, I demonstrate more diversity and creativity in every element than my previous productions. From sexy vocals and groovy basslines to funky and trance-inspired elements, it’s packed with variety. Djeki (Bad Boombox) pushes me to step out of my comfort zone and shows me what’s possible when you dare to try. I think the four tracks on the EP are a wonderful example of what happens when two producers collaborate, enriching each other with their strengths and growing together.”
