Borak & Mashrik - Physical Empathy incl. Ali Farahani and Tooker Remixes

Borak, based in LA, and Mashrik, hailing from NY, join forces to craft a vibrant vocal anthem that perfectly captures the essence of early spring and summer. With fresh sounds, emotive keyboards, and smooth guitars, the original version radiates a beautiful, uplifting spirit.

On remix duties, Ali Farahani, the mastermind behind Pipe & Pochet, delivers a rolling, house-infused interpretation that stays true to the original's essence. Meanwhile, Tooker (half of KMLN) and released on Crosstown Rebels and Ouie takes his remix in a more percussive direction, layering in dynamic rhythms, captivating synths, and an uplifting energy.

Hope you enjoy the music !
