Daktyl & Aquilo 6 Letters

Daktyl returns to Counter Records after releasing his standout “Riyaaz” EP, receiving great support from Dancing Astronaut. This time the LA-based producer/ multi-instrumentalist teams up with talented UK-based duo Aquilo (who are currently on tour and have received great support for the likes of Mixmag, Rolling Stone & BBC Radio 1’s Huw Stephens in the past) on new single ‘6 Letters’. The outcome is a perfect blend of two different musical styles coming together to create a stunning new track. 

"This song began in the rain in Worcestershire, England in early 2016. Then I got in the studio with Aquilo in London about half a year later and we laid down the vocals,” comments Daktyl. “I put the finishing touches on it a year later in a cabin in Yosemite Forest, California. At all three times and places I was very deeply in love with a person, and this song is a snapshot of that emotion and all the pitfalls it entails”. 

“A few years ago Daktyl remixed a song of ours that we were really into,” said Aquilo. “Eventually we found ourselves in the studio together for an afternoon and this is what came of it. “
