We introduced you to Johannes Arzberger a few weeks ago, with his “NBGL” – an ethereal chill electronic piece with rich, garage-inspired drums. The German jazz musician & composer just unveiled the 3rd single off his upcoming album Rebirth – “Oort Dust”. Unlike the previous one, this song pays homage to the trip-hop era – with all its melancholy, darkness & beauty. “Oort Dust” is together with beatmaker 7apes (also a co-composer of the album) and carries raw drums, dreamy & nostalgic guitars, prominent basslines, and spacey synths. The upcoming Rebirth “tells the mesmerizing sci-fictional story of an abstract existence…
