Described in a press release as painting a picture of FJAAK's "utopian club ideal", the 23-track record is said to cover elements from UK breakbeat, techno, 2-step, drum'n'bass, jungle, trip hop and ambient genres.
"FJAAK’s advanced technical know-how and love of synthesizers and drum machines helps them formulate a sound that’s conscious of dance music history, but focused on a brighter, more equitable future" concludes the release.
Along with news of a new record, FJAAK shared lead single, 'Redemption', which landed with a music video on YouTube on March 12.
