Why do we like this?

This track, aside from being absolutely stunning, has a very sad story behind it. It's from an Australian musician named Szymon Borzestowski who lost his battle with depression and took his own life almost two years ago, at just 23 years old. An almost-finished record was left, and his family have worked tirelessly toward being able to share it with the world.

The first track from the album was recently released. "Katyusha" is an incredible look into Borzestowski's talent. One of a number of instrumentals on the record, it was created entirely in his bedroom using the Fruity Loops program. Uptempo and pulsating, it's got a hypnotizing undertone to it that really draws the listener in, creating plenty of atmosphere and vibe along the way. 

Borzestowski's album Tigersapp is due out in the coming months on a label called Eloper set up specifically to release this record. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be able to listen to this music, and I'm sure there'll be plenty more who share that same sentiment.
