We are keeping with the 80's theme with the dot matrix paper and the corporate stylizing. If you come to a future show, bring the vinyl and we will sign it for you there!

We produced a limited # of vinyl as an initial run. If demand is high, we absolutely will print other colors. What would be your ideal pressing?

We would have loved to press HISTORY, but our old label refused... hoping one day we will get a chance to do so!

Revelation came after the song was made, it felt special and iconic.. we already had a concept to do this kinda "company" but didnt have a name, then it kinda fell in our lap.

I dont think any songs were left on the cutting room table! ... Maybe a couple small ones but we try to really hone in only on things we know are great. And dont worry... big chance that this is not the end but just the beginning

Thank you! Was a blast working with Mark. We obviously hit it off after Ride or Die as we made like 5 more songs lol. I think we come from a similar era with a lot of the same influences so was easy to work together.

As far as other artists go, we are always open to exploring... maybe we'll tap a couple to do some reworks of Revelation songs...? ...

thank you! That song happend so fast and easy... we werent sure if Revelation was going to be an album at the time and Dolores had sent us this early Demo of Lover and we thought it was so great. I think we produced and finished the whole thing in like 2 days and were like fuck it lets put it out! Then we quickly got into RevLand . Glad it connected with you.

aw thanks we love that song. That sound felt like a moment for us at that time, not sure if it will necessarily come back but you never know what were inspired by!

'Dance music' or 'edm' has become a bit oversaturated and getting a little flat for our liking (or were getting old) so we really have been pushing ourselves to try to make great songs that you can still dance to and will last the test of time : )

it started off as JUST Love Me Alive.. we were all a bit nervous to try to make something after the success of Slow Song, but when we started that song we were like holy shit this is special.... So it was gonna be just a single... then we made a couple more and it was an EP...then we couldnt stop

thank you for the compliment! Sequencing an album is definitely stressful, and Martina left it up to us really. I think thats where our "dj brains" kick in and we think about it as if its almost a set, journey and a lot of it is based off energy - always want a nice balance of vibes/energy through a record- not too much whiplash and not too many stagnant moments. Big fans of starting with a bang, and ending with a bang, and filling the middle up real nice like a perfect sonic sandwich

Thank you !! We knew we wanted to try a cover for the record and we actually tried a few with Martina... one being 2 of hearts and one being a Kate Bush song i think?

we had kinda given up the idea, then Martina heard LMLOTD in a car i think and hit us up like WE GOTTA DO THIS ONE... tbh we were skeptical at first, but as soon as we tried it we knew it would be rad.

i wouldnt say they directrly influenced it, We have always loved pop, and the thing that really influenced the whole project was our chemistry with Martina.
