[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Nils Hoffmann is one of the most exceptional artists coming to Anjunadeep family with stunning tracks so far. His  Phenomena I will definitely capture your emotions and the tracks included will manage easily to encourage you to let all the inhibitions go and start dancing and shaking along with the pulsating basslines, haunting industrial synths and melodramatic suspenseful arrangement. The superb vocal single Lonely features the addictive performance by Rae who simply put her stamp on the track with her incredible way of delivering the deep and meaningful lyrics. The EP includes the instrumental version of the track for those who wish to wash away all the pain and let the music taking care of the healing process on the dancefloor. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
