We wanted this LP to become the sound of Radio Hope for people going through hard times. Our Rave, Drum'n'Bass, Metal and Synthwave beats are stronger than ever and this time we are bringing Acoustic guitars into the mix to add variety and emphasize some of the melodies. Meanwhile our friends featuring on the tracks bring a lot of new twists to the MDB sound to keep you all excited - from aggressive hardcore bellowing to all-female sing-alongs and clean harmonized vocals!"
