1. Chapter & Verse – Night Pulse

Chapter & Verse kick off the week with Night Pulse, a sleek and groovy house track designed for late-night dance floors. The production is driven by a rolling bassline, crisp percussion, and subtle melodic layers that create a hypnotic flow. The track maintains a steady, infectious rhythm, making it ideal for extended club sets and after-hours sessions.

3. Dualities & NOVA – RAW

Dualities and NOVA come together on RAW, a dark and aggressive track that leans into heavy bass, distorted textures, and intense rhythmic patterns.
