Haty Haty - High As The Sun (2016)

HATY HATY is a collaboration between David Douglas and Blaudzun, two critically acclaimed artists, live performers but above all friends from The Netherlands, who teamed to deliver a stellar blend of indie and electronic music. Blaudzun is known in Europe as an indie artist with several chart successes, awards, a golden album and many appearances at festivals. Electronic artist David Douglas released his debut album 'Moon Observations' on Atomnation in 2014 to rave reviews. Debut single "High As The Sun" blends the influences of both artists - strong, dubby electronic claps and kicks are smoothly colored by David Douglas' Space Echo, while the haunting vocals by Blaudzun bind the track into a round, somewhat cinematic cut. The name HATY HATY is derived from the Indonesian word 'Hati' meaning heart and is used as 'Hati Hati' when wishing someone luck or courage in difficult times or crossing chaotic city streets. "It translates best as 'watch your heart' or 'take care'.
