The new single "Adaptation" is a mellow yet cutting-edge groove themed around dark adaptation. It's a sonic journey of evolution, slowly igniting from within.

From a mellow, floating intro to a steadily intensifying build, the track quietly but surely sinks deep into your core.

Blending elements of funk, hip-hop, and soul, it merges polished sound with raw textures-delivering a refined yet gritty expression of change.
