‘Back For More’ is the first release from LOVE TAPS; a laid-back fusion of tropical vibes featuring heavyhearted vocals from one of Toronto’s rising talents, Maya Killtron. The song recounts a doomed and one-sided relationship, furthering a minimalist, mid-tempo beat which is masterfully paralleled by Maya’s dark lyrics. 3 top notch remixes round out the release, including Smalltown DJs (Fools Gold) & Lambo’s (Get Right) future house vibe journey that would sound at home on Annie Mac’s show, or peak time in a Duke Dumont set..Pure class! Konrad OldMoney delivers a blissed out Hip Hop remake, featuring guest vocalist Chris Ferg who stops by for a quick verse. Finally, The Slow Waves do what they do so well, time and time again. A warm hug for a hot track, lush vibes and bass warmth to get us through the winter.
