LOSING YOU (REMASTERED) RELEASED (May 21)
We're pleased to offer a remastered version of Losing You, which was originally released in 2010 on ROHS! records. The original EP garnered great feedback and reviews, so we felt that it deserved some more attention after the recent closing of the label.
With this new version - Losing You (Remastered) - we've remastered the original files, added new artwork and included two new remixes: Losing You (Lonely Mix) and Desire (Smouldering Mix).
Losing You (Remastered) is available at our shop.
