    loveoleglove releases new single “I Need Light”

    loveoleglove has released the new single “I Need Light,” a melodic techno and progressive house track built around themes of darkness, disorientation and hope.

    The production uses spacious electronic textures and a steady rhythm to reflect the feeling of moving through an uncertain environment. loveoleglove described the song as an attempt to capture a feeling that remained with them from childhood dreams and translate it into music.
