He planned on remixing “Incineration of Years and Truth” back when I originally made it in 2011, but we never got around to actually making that happen. I’m also honored to have my other close friend Phil Moffa on remix duties. There were many sessions in Phil’s studio (Butcha Sound Studio, NYC) where we used to jam with Mike whenever he would come to New York to DJ or hang out. We used to play with synthesizers for hours. We were all good friends and it was perfect to have Phil on this record as well! Mike taught and inspired us to have fun with making music and push ourselves to be the best that we can be. We will love him forever.”

Hyenah breaks through the summer season with an unmistakable sound and appeal, unleashing a great 12 track selection with the album ‘Love In Times Of Crisis’. The title speaks itself and put in front of us a relevant question: how love spreads in these hard times? Even if the album title seems enigmatic, the overall sound isn’t, showing as its best the beautiful approach to electronic music by the artist. That’s not a solo album because all the tracks (except the #3) feature a collaboration with another musician, for this very reason one of the best tracks of the entire collection is ‘The Message’ , where the enchanting vocals of Bajka rolls over gently and smoothly.
