Steve Bug, an iconic name in electronic music, and Hervé Solar, a rising producer, first crossed paths at the renowned Mixmasters Retreat in Ibiza. This meeting on the white isle, a mecca for electronic music, marked the beginning of a collaboration that now sees the light with “No Faith, No Dreams.” Hervé Solar, who had already caught Steve Bug’s attention with his participation in Poker Flat’s “Under One Roof” series, brings a fresh and vibrant touch to this production, solidifying his place as one to watch in the scene.

Jürgen Kirsch’s Touch
Adding even more dynamism to this release, Jürgen Kirsch, another emerging talent, takes on the task of remixing “No Faith, No Dreams.” Kirsch opts for a more minimalist approach, stripping the track of some of its original elements to focus on a dubby bassline and intricate percussion.
