Cargo

Sofa Surfers

Murky, bass-heavy trip-hop that feels like a noir film set in a rain-slicked Vienna. Deep dub grooves meet industrial textures and nocturnal jazz echoes.

The perfect soundtrack for a rainy night in a city that looks better in black and white.

A heavy, nocturnal tension that feels like a slow walk through a fog-covered industrial harbor.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the bassline in 'The Lowrider' feels like it's physically pushing against the air in the room.
The haunting, distant trumpet calls on 'Latal in Tampere' that sound like they're coming from across a frozen lake.
The transition into 'Guns & Bombs & Knives' where the rhythm becomes more jagged and the tension peaks.
