Ontario’s Talal & Zoi add another solid EP under their belt. “Empty Roads” is and melodic throwback stemmed from their vast experiences of different cultures. The release is out now on Thoughtless Music. Grab the full EP, with B side original “Dreams” and a remix from Marc Cotterell, exclusively on beatport.

The title track is a unique collision of Eastern and Western melodies, a product of Talal & Zoi’s Pakistani roots and their current living quarters in Toronto. Inviting tech-house beats are infused with tweaked vocal snippets and rattling poly-rhythmic textures building to a deep, swaying breakdown. Shimmering sitar strokes interact seamlessly with haunting Rhodes keys, muted guitar plucks and tuned percussion, all merged together with top-notch production. Simply unforgettable.
