The &#8220;Inhale, Exhale (Interlude)&#8221; is the equilibrium that opens up the second half of the EP, highlighting D\u0101M\u2019s melodic laid-back funk, as expressed through tracks like \u201cLadera Heights\u201d and his lead single, \u201cOn Code\u201d. The soulful side of techno is even touched on in the track &#8220;Deeper&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>In discussing his inspirations for the EP, D\u0101M explains <em>\u201cIn this time of colossal distractions, easy trouble online, heavy trolling and cancel culture, this project provides an alternative to instead\u2026 just lay back, take a deep breath, stay outta trouble and simply \u2018glyde\u2019 for a while.
