It’s safe to say 2019 was the breakthrough year for GHEIST. It was marked by a series of festival and club gigs and a number of stellar releases on imprints like Solomun’s Diynamic and Watergate Records.

The Berlin-based band are kicking off 2020 with their first collaboration on their own imprint, Radau, welcoming New Zealand native Bayker to their label. The two-track EP comes two years after their vocal-heavy joint effort ‘Salvation’ was released via Exploited, instantly becoming a fan favourite.

Two years later, Bayker and GHEIST get together in the studio again to continue where they left off with ‘Salvation’. The result is a two-track EP that bears the unmistakable GHEIST stamp, with Bayker adding a darker twist to the band’s signature dreamy, melancholic productions.

Dubbed ‘Howl’, the EP opens up with ‘Echoes’ is a four-to-the-floor beckoning to get down on the dancefloor that sees GHEIST step out of their comfort zone to show a new side to their masterfully crafted sound. In contrast, the title track is soaked in GHEIST’s dreamy melodic aesthetic. However, having Bayker on board adds a darker energy to the mix that turns the tune into an absolute dancefloor weapon.
