Sonzeira | The Mystery of Man. 4hero Remix

Gilles Peterson has harped back to the essence of Talkin Loud – calling on 4hero to deliver this lush 2-parter of a remix of Sonzeira track “The Mystery of Man”. The soaring strings and subtle bass lines eventually move into a delicately placed drum and bass frame that really join the dots – a track that forms the first release on Talkin Loud in over a decade remixed by one of the fabled labels seminal signings.
