Gaining support from legendary BBC Radio 1 tastemaker Pete Tong, Australian producer Willaris. Kcontinues to leave his sonic footprint in the electronic industry on account of his eclectic productions and widely acclaimed sold-out shows, including festival main stage appearances.
His latest release, a double A-side made up of ‘Natural Selection’ and ‘Cobaki Sky (Prequel)’ cementsWillaris’ reputation as a producer of the highest order.
Made up of the slick progressive ‘Cobaki Sky’, inspired by his home-town on Australia’s Tweed Heads, Willaris.
