There are tougher beats surrounding this to drive the hypnotic sound.
The second tune, ‘Touch Of Magic’, incorporates 80s inspired synths and uptempo beats. There’s a stabbing percussion with lively chords, too.
On the release, Meyer tells Mixmag: "This EP really means a lot to me. 'The Choir' is based on a church choir recording. The very first version is already a few years old, but I never really managed to get it how I wanted. Now, I have finally turned it into something special. Every time I play this record, the vibe in the club gets very very intimate. Always such a special moment."
"'Touch of Magic' is dedicated to a very special person in my life. It’s a very '80s inspired uplifting journey. I love how it flows."
