A week to go from the release of the first joint single by producers Petar Dundov and Ilija Rudman. The single titled “Morning Glory”, also the first released song from the recently announced charity compilation of electronic music “Healing Sounds – Croatia Earthquakes Relief Project”, will be released digitally on Monday, February 1, under the PDV Records.

“In 15 years of socializing through the studio, we would often touch on the topic of how our music would sound to combine our ideas and experiences if nothing like an experiment out of fun or pure need for expression. This is the first song, which is after all known events in March 2020 arose naturally, from isolation moments and after the initiative of Vedran Meniga, which we considered completely adequate.” – says Rudman, and Dundov adds: “We made a song that is an interesting fusion of disco and deep house. I’m glad if we can help in this way. This record brings together a number of respectable names, so I hope that this benefit action will have an effect.”
Recall, the compilation will be released in digital format, as well as on vinyl in two parts. The compilation album contains mostly exclusive compositions, created exclusively for this occasion, and it currently contains (in alphabetical order): Andrea Ljekaj, Antonio Zuza, Disrupted Project, Egoless, Fabris Audio, Insolate, Ivan Komlinovic, Jan Kinčl & Regis Kattie, Kodin, Koolade, Le Chocolat Noir, Laseech, Microslav, Qwerty, PEZNT, Petar Dundov & Ilija Rudman, RFMN, Sergej Snooze, VRH, Zarkoff.

The second part of the vinyl release will be released after the summer, with new exclusive songs, which will subsequently be added to the digital edition of the compilation. Vinyl releases will also have an additional note of dedication and a farewell to the Sirup Club (2009-2016).
