Massive Dynamic - 'Flowers' ft: Young Yoshi
Ben Harris-Hayes was inspired to write this track after a trip to Japan and a meeting up with a fresh trumpeter Young Yoshi. A mutual love of the Jazz Age trumpeters Dizzy Gillepsie, Chet Baker and Miles Davis created this chilled trip-hop jazz track.

Just keep your heads down and they’ll feed you the noise. (Sign on) Why do we pay for a hollow joy? Why do we stick to screens and destroy? Dead! (I’m dead!) This is life locked in my head, This is the existential dread, I’m dreaming. Dead! (I’m dead!) I think this has to be the end, Done with pressure, Done with friends, I’m screaming.
