The track opens with is a literal ‘warp-speed’ sound that transports the listener into a dark futuristic jazz sonic universe, with a driving rhythm section steering the journey. It builds into a heroic theme as the horns, orchestra and synthesizers fuse together and explode like the fire from an unleashed dragon.

Nick says about the song: “This track is about unleashing the inner dragon in all of us; daring to take risks, all in pursuit of our dreams, the greater vision we have for a better world, without limitations. It’s also a homage to the process of how the track was written and performed: riding inspiration fearlessly without not necessarily knowing where the ultimate destination is, but trusting it will lead to where it needs to go”.

Based in the heart of Paris, near the Centre Pompidou.
