Emika & Rødhåd share new dirty techno single: ‘I Knew Your Name Before You Were Born’
Out now is the newest single by Emika & Rødhåd who united for the track “I Knew Your Name Before You Were Born”. The track is taken from part two of Emika’s “Vega” trilogy, a collection that shifts between synths, minimalist piano, and pounding techno.
On “Vega” you can expect collaborations with Horace Andy (Massive Attack), Leila Moss (The Duke Spirit) and Robert Ames. All in all it celebrates 10 years since the release of Emika’s debut self-titled album on Ninja Tune.
Check out the single below.
