Dance the Skies is about capturing that feeling of freedom and lightness you sometimes find on a summer night – the kind of moment that feels both melancholic and full of joy. The track started around a chopped-up kalimba loop that felt playful and rhythmic, and as the organic drums and bouncing bassline came together, the arrangement naturally grew into something that evolves and moves. I wanted it to feel fluid and uplifting, but still grounded in a sense of atmosphere and reflection. It’s music to move to, but also to lose yourself in
