Hotlane – 2nd single from Berlin duo
Cat#: Gomma196
Release: 18 July 2014
This needs to be released in the summer. Hotlane’s new single is probably working best on your terrace around 9 pm.. when it’s still warm and the sun goes down.. Agnes has a magic voice. And the remixes by James Curd (Greenskeepers, Exploited, Chicago) and Theatre Of Delays are a bomb…

Hotlane – the new duo from Berlin come up with their second single for Gomma. “Whenever” is a chilled out sweet little summer song. It comes with great remixes by James Curd from Exploited and Theatre Of Delays, the Berlin wunderkind.
The video was shot in some unknown streets of Berlin some weeks ago. Starring Agnes, the singer (who originally came from Stockholm for some modeling jobs, but now lives in Berlin, concentrating on her singing and acting career).
