Channeling the sounds of an oceanside vacation “Kumbaye” is as profound as it is lively. Driving hooks and catchy rhythms cascade atop Rotex’s buoyant flow, making “Kumbaye” one of offrami’s finest tracks to date.

Finis Mundi
Right Now?

Nino De Felipe, known to most by his stage name Finis Mundi, is a producer and artist based out of Stockholm, Sweden. “Right Now?” started off as a Billie Eilish remix but turned into an original single where Mundi described the track as an “echo of a heartbroken person questioning it’s lover, ‘what makes you so happy right now?’ in silence. All alone.”

The genre-bending up and coming artist tosses warped vocals on a glitchy deep house infused record that crosses the border between R&B and Electronic music. “Right Now?” has a real ominous vibe to it that is perfect for a rainy day or dim lighting, so give it a spin and keep your eyes on Finis Mundi for the rest of 2019. Remember, you heard it here first at TMN!

Posted by Clayton Warwick - February 5, 2019

We’ve had Big Wild on our radar for quite some time, first posting about his vibey tunes back in 2015. Since then, we’ve had the pleasure of watching the rapid adoption and adoration of his style, leading him to a dedicated fanbase and some of the largest venues in the world.

Ahead of the release of high highly-anticipated debut album Superdream, out now via Counter Records, we reached out to learn more about this evolutionary shift in his career.

TMN: Superdream, your debut album, just dropped a few days ago. How excited were you to release it?

BW: Extremely excited. It’s been a long time coming! I’m just excited for people to see the full body of work, versus the singles that we’ve put out in the past. I think it’s going to give a lot more context to what I’m trying to do and where I’m trying to go with my music.

TMN: This is really your coming out party with singing on your own tracks. How did that come to be?

TMN: Did you know that you could sing?
