Sometimes the best music does indeed come from collaborations. In the case of Paskal and Urban Absolutes, their particular production chemistry is a perfect blend. Whether releasing tracks such as “Gotta Make It Right” featuring legendary Chicago vocalist Byron Stingily or the deep, sultry “Still in Love”, Paskal and Urban Absolutes have been responsible for creating some of the most amazing house records in the past few years.
Lea Lea is powerful - not simply because of her soulful commanding voice, her undeniable presence or even her ability to physically transform into a musical warrior. While these attributes are a given, Lea Lea is powerful...because she knows it. There is no selling of sex but her naturally gorgeous appearance makes you overly want her. Instead of crying a river over heartbreaks on her recordings, she sings about social unrest. This is the kind of “first lady” power that can transform decades old systematical structures. This is power with purpose.

His love for not only the sound, but for his supporters is astronomical. If close enough to the stage, it is likely for a clubber to get a handshake or a high five from Tyas, even if he is behind the decks. That passion carries over into his production as he is often credited as helping to bring the “true” sound of Trance back into the genre.
