The ever-ethereal Betonkust and hardware junkie, Palmbomen II, have teamed up for a collaborative release on 1080p. It's the first appearance for both artists on the Vancouver label's ever-expanding roster that also includes Via App, Khotin, James K and many more. Ahead of the release later this month, 1080p has shared the second track from the EP, "24x33", showcasing both producers playing to each other's strengths. Palmbomen II's muddy and lo-fi percussion is perfectly matched to the weightless synthscapes dreamed up by Betonkust.

1080p Collection boss, Richard MacFarlane, said to THUMP over email: "Not only did it seem like a natural fit aesthetically, the context or concept of the EP was super familiar to me—they recorded it over a weekend at this abandoned water park in the Netherlands called 'Center Parcs De Eemhof', which reminded me lots of this closed water park in Budapest that I stumbled upon and walked around for ages."

Betonkust uploaded a 47-minute mixtape to his SoundCloud this week—filled with original productions, remixes and edits to serve as a primer for the producer's infectious and blissed-out sound. "Center Parcs EP" is the first new material we've seen from Palmbomen II since his outstanding self-titled release on Beats in Space Records last year.

"Center Parcs EP" will be available on cassette and digitally on February 26 from 1080p.
