Theo Kottis 'It Wasn’t Meant To Be' (Moda Black)
Despite still only being in his twenties, Theo shows a maturity beyond his years with this piece of timeless house. ‘It Wasn’t Meant To Be’ echoes the melancholic warmth of his stylish DJ sets with its combination of beautiful strings, dreamy pads and catchy tribal chants. On the flip, ‘Running Nowhere’ is a dramatic piece of cinematic haunted house, while Mobilee producer And.ID does a great job remixing the title track – but the original version is still the one.
