Sunda
"Midnight / Shine"

As the doomsday clock ticks ever closer to LOST200, we are pleased to welcome SUNDA to LOST LANGUAGE for his full
debut, delivering a beautifully poised double A-side in MIDNIGHT / SHINE - two cuts that harness that golden era, when deep,
driving, emotionally rich trance music ruled super-club main rooms, and the spectre of whiffy pop was still stood outside, queuing
in the rain.
SUNDA's first EL-EL outing was on remix duties for QOOB back in 2024, and since then his sound has gone from strength to
strength. MIDNIGHT leans into a distinctly classic energy, its melody nodding to the Grace-era Perfecto sound, underpinned by a
warm, rolling drive. A dreamy Morrighan / Clannad-esque vocal drifts effortlessly above the groove, giving the track a timeless,
late-night lift that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
SHINE shifts the mood inward - a soulful, melancholic vocal wrapped around a bittersweet riff that’s been quietly doing damage
in Ben Lost’s sets over recent months. It’s an instant burner with a soulful pull, built for those early hours when the back drip hits
your throat, and forever friends are made.
On remix duties, former Crasher Kid and Passion regular Nick Simmons - aka NAREL - delivers a sleek, pumping progressive
rework. Dialling up the groove while letting the vocal breathe, he crafts a version that builds patiently before landing with real
intent - a classy, floor-focused reinterpretation from a producer on the up.
