Karsten Schmidt and Dole & Kom arrive on Sounds Of Sirin with 'Cortado,' a single that previews an EP to follow, and one that came together in the most straightforward way possible: two studios next to each other, two tracks in a similar direction, and the decision to finish both together. The name says it all. A lot of coffee was consumed in the process, and the result is a release that feels like it was made between friends who simply got on with it. Dole & Kom need little introduction in the underground electronic world. From their early days at Berlin's Delirium record store and releases on Relief Records and Formaldehyd, through their hit 'Phara-Oh' on 3000 Records which has accumulated tens of millions of streams, to their more recent work on Bar 25 Music and their own Smoking Hot Records, the duo have built one of the most consistent and wide-ranging catalogues in the scene. Karsten Schmidt is a Berlin-based DJ and producer embedded in the city's underground scene, a regular at clubs including Suess War Gestern and Birgit, and a natural fit for the collaboration.
