This latest studio release is a melting pot of different styles and collaborations, a self-professed kaleidoscope depicting four very different planets. Some tracks touch on the early infectiousness of traditional Django Django, such as the funky Fluxus, with its myriad percussive beats and vocal effects. Others transcend different styles, influences and moods across the 21 tracks. Single Complete Me, featuring Self Esteem, oozes early 90s breakbeat dance music. Twists and turns cross house, pop, piano rave, Detroit techno and world music vibes.

Creative percussion and electronic beats form the basis of the songs that very much started life as a departure from Django Django. The result: an experimental musical odyssey.
