EB016 is a special record birthed from a darker time, in a year of a uprooted lifestyle and a different world. But in darkness, it's a lot easier to see the light.

Label heads Handsdown and Leigh Boy's (HOPE)LESS contains a fusion of emo, techno, spinkles of trance as well as Shannon's vocals transport the listener to a happier place, while still respecting and acknowledging the pain of every day life.

Rounding out the package is our dear friend and the messiah of dark minimal techno, Russias Maksim Dark - who's trademark style is undeniable, and dissects the original composition in a way only he can.
