Maybe the upcoming releases will show you this again… Maybe… Plastic City.

With “Kickr”, doerd delivers a confident yet refreshingly unpretentious debut on Plastic City – a release that lets the music speak with clarity rather than volume. The EP introduces the producer’s artistic identity through two reduced, groove-oriented deep house tracks that strike a careful balance between club-driven energy and deliberate sonic restraint.
