Koobra feat. Joanna – Something Real

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bue–M2JafA

“Finnish disco-house producer Koobra’s music aims straight for the dancefloor, not unlike his work with Helsinki 78-82. But while that project aims towards the DIY raves populated by todays’ youth, his solo moniker is slanted more towards a futuristic 1980s night club. On “Thrills,” filtered pad synths, spacey arpeggiated melodies, and bouncing bass lines all work in tandem over a simple dance beat to effectively harken to a realm where Blade Runner and The Running Man are more fact than fiction.”
