Jerro feat. Kauf – Tunnel Vision

Jerro

Belgian producer Jerro has teamed up with Los Angeles-based electronic producer Kauf on hypnotic new single ‘Tunnel Vision’.

Slotting nicely into the Anjunadeep roster of melodically driven and lyrically deep dance music, the track was born following a night out. Jerro explains,

“It’s actually pretty funny how this track came about…I had a long-night out at the club, and came home feeling extra ‘inspired.’ So, I started messing around on FL Studio. Woke up the next morning, and saw that I started a track the night before at 5:47am? So, I had a listen, and I actually quite liked it haha…and that’s how ‘Tunnel Vision’ was born.”

Sounds like: James Blake, Nordic Giants, Bicep, Jon Hopkins, Caribou, Talos, Bonobo, Solomon Grey, Anaphase
