Wow, I didn't realize this was several years old, this is sonically way ahead of it's time. Cosmic and transcendental

@pascal-janssen

not really ahead of it's time really since future bass already peaked in 2013 with artists like flume. however this is one of my favorite songs of the genre which is now pretty much dead i feel like. good times on festivals with this kind of music. it sounds commercial but still has an alternative sound to it.

@tomfalkowski9809

Toki is one of the first shows i shall see when this is over

@DJDrLandWhaleOfficial

I was lucky enough to catch her at the observatory years back. She played the Ciara version of this song πŸ₯°

@DavidLopez1997

Toki alongside Bonobo at Red Rocks was my first show since COVID and it was such a beautiful experience. I legitimately almost cried when she started her set with this song.

@zsonohanz
