David Harks and Vhyce Present: Rosa Ama — “Ethers” (Night Version Extended)
The collaborative production duo (comprised of vocalist David Harks and producer Vhyce) share the extended mixes on the heels of their double single “Ethers,” which was released just two weeks ago. The original “Ethers” release, which came out on October 30th, features both a ‘Day Version’ and ‘Night Version’ of Rosa Ama’s song. The unique presentation is designed to complement the two different moods that embody the music. The Day Version is a slower and more loungey adult-contemporary edit. While the Night Version is a more uptempo indie dance track produced for DJing and the dance floor. Both cuts feature identical lyrics and showcase Rosa Ama’s dynamic songwriting and powerful production abilities.
