Double A side single from notorious New Zealand producer, DJ and trumpet player and brand new Bastard Jazz signing Isaac Aesili. Isaac's music is woven through electronic soul, with threads of jazz, funk, R&B and house music in a vibe that is uniquely his own.
The first track "Rain Gods" feat. Rachel Fraser is a heavenly pathway into Rachel's luxurious vocals with clever lyrics merging the soaring synths and looped bassline into a short yet memorable chorus, while the second track 'Player' sees Isaac's unique vocals tell a tale of dangerous seduction within a synth funk-driven dancehall house music that feels like the Gap Band on a tropical vacation.
