Axel Thesleff embraces the drama found within passing time in his latest single, ‘Timeflow’. Opening with an enthralling poem written by Thesleff himself, the listener is quickly drawn into the percussive elements and deep basslines that follow. Rhythmic and moving in a way that mirrors a sped up passing of time itself, the single will make minutes feel like mere seconds as the listener is lost in the mesmerising sound.
