BLENDING PSYCHEDELIA AND SINCERITY SINCE 2025 ALBUM DETAILS The record starts with a previously released and loved track of Cole's, brilliantly remixed by the legendary Psychemagik. Originally out on Das Sind Wir in 2019 (when it made Tim Sweeney's "Best of 2019" mix on Beats In Space) it was planned to be pressed to vinyl.

His deep musical knowledge and breadth of taste showed in his eclectic
