Mark Maxwell “Santorini” ft Asta

While it’s true to say a great tradesman never blames his tools, it’s equally as true to say that without great scripts…. Jack Nickolson may not have been deemed one of the best actors ever….

Or that Kelly Slater wouldn’t have won 11 world titles on a piece of wood……

Or that Lewis Hamilton wouldn’t have won so many races in a go cart…….

Sure, their skills would have been obvious… even in bad movies, even on a piece of wood, even in a go cart…. but they wouldn’t have scaled the heights they have without all the ingredients……

Which brings me to Mark Maxwell.

For the last year, he’s been sending us these amazing demos… well… maybe more appropriately… amazing beds… but they weren’t gonna be hits…

Not because his beds weren’t amazing… but because he just wasn’t getting vocals that matched his beds…..

I mean, fa sure…… we had some very big name artists want to work on his beats……. but for themselves or for a crazy fee…. so we waited…. knowing the right script would come along….

And come along it did!!!!!!!!

Santorini is that perfect storm of Mark’s flex on the music and finally…… vocals that really work as well as Mark’s beats…….. Enter Australia’s answer to Dua Lipa, ASTA! It’s the right amount of fun but it’s not just fun……. it’s the right amount of kitsch…. but it’s NOT kitsch….. imagine Bugatti 2.0 and you will be on the right track…..

Yes… rhyming bikini with Santorini and Lamborghini may sound like a turn in the wrong direction….. but that’s when the skills of Mark and ASTA take the wheel… We’re seriously tipping as the one to take over in 2022…. TUNE-ORINI!!!!!!!

Much love,
