“Dos Latidos” by Tomas Rosas: When Distance is Measured Not in Kilometers, But in Songs

Peace, Love, Unity, Respect – and Seven Tracks as Proof: Sporty O’s New EP
There’s something irrational about dance music. When the bass hits at exactly the right moment, and a stranger next to you smiles at you for no reason, when you feel that you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Sporty O, apparently, is familiar with such a secret formula – and on the recently…
