Gerd - Chord Orbit
I’m unapologetically a space nerd, and anyone who knows me is well aware of my love for all things cosmic. Combine that with my passion for electronic music, and you’ve hit my sweet spot.

Fouk - F3000
Fouk's "F3000" is a masterclass in reimagining a classic while infusing it with fresh energy for today’s dance floors. By expertly sampling Mandre’s 1979 gem "M3000 (Opus VI)," Fouk pays homage to the original while simultaneously pushing it into new sonic territories. The track doesn’t just replicate the past—it reinvents it, blending the retro-futuristic vibes of the original with Fouk’s signature modern touch. "F3000" retains the lush, spacey elements that made Mandre’s work iconic, but Fouk adds a contemporary flair that makes the track irresistible to a new generation of dancers. The deep, pulsating bassline, and that unmistakable synth melody, create a dynamic experience that’s impossible to resist. It’s a track that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, a perfect fusion of the old and the new. Fouk’s treatment of "M3000" is nothing short of genius. They’ve managed to craft a tune that’s respectful of its roots while also being a certified floor-filler in its own right. "F3000" isn’t just a remix; it’s a revitalisation, a track that honours the past while setting the stage for the future.
