Nothing beats a good progressive electronica song, especially when you try to space out and do some focused work (bonus pro tip: great for running, too).

WaTa, a Hungarian producer & DJ with 12 years of classical music studies behind him, delivers the captivating "Desert" which feels like travelling above massive sand dunes at sunset - driving percussion work with a hint of UK underground influences, stellar synths, and ambient soundscapes.

This is the first taste of his upcoming On My Way EP, out via our friends at Sidekick Music. WaTa elaborates:

I didn't know how to categorize this sound so I came up with the genre 'hipster tropical' for myself. Not sure if this term exists but I think it's spot on! Exploring a new sound is always a huge inspiration for me. Finding the tone of 'On My Way' made me finish almost all the instrumental parts of the EP in a couple of weeks.
