Our GDD friend and familiar Ecto Cooler has just released a big room monster on Bazooka Records. His ‘Touch The Sky’ EP is a fusion of progressive and electro, carried by anthemic vocals from David Reed. The track gets taken to a whole new level with a massive remix from Pete Foster, sending his version straight into festival season. Main stage fans: don’t miss these!
