Bósa, with often a deeper, more profound direction within his genre selection embraced and music styles, was a natural fit given the end-energy of the track, simultaneously showing how to think about the genre of house differently, via “Ouroboros.”
Beats Antiques, with Tommy on percussion, piano, and production, Zoe producing and often taking lead on elements such as costumes, travel, dance, ect., and David, a multi-instrumentalist playing many roles including songwriting, instrumentation, production, and more, are touring legends globally recognized and, particularly, beloved in the states.
