The beautiful, jazzy melodies blend creatively with some superb electronic experimentalism. This is the unique sound of Trademark, a collaboration of ‘Forces of Nature’ member Tony Reeves and his Tundra Records label mate Loki.
The sound fusion they create makes for a great sensory trip and you are treated to some masterful production on the Exosphere EP, delivering brilliant sounds through four awesome and very smooth productions, offering some of the most sophisticated and intelligent Deep House music around today.
Glass (Original Mix) is a brilliant old school Deep House vibe tinged with a seductive electronic groove. A definite must have for the Deep House connoisseur.

The brilliant production skills of this talented duo are evident throughout, most notably on Inner Motion (Original Mix). The piano chords in the track intertwine brilliantly with the underlying beats. They will have you lounging out on cloud nine.

Good Earth (Original Mix)is a trip down a deeper, darker House lane. It has some interesting melodies and original synths, making it a stand out production on this EP and would do many a late night/early morning set justice with its Deep electronic groove.
