After meeting vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, & physician Eki SHola through her first vinyl release and playing her on the Oonops Drops show on Brooklyn Radio, Oonops asked her to be featured on the Nautilus single »Why I Came to California« alongside Denise M’Baye.

After this incredible release, a new common project was needed: so he asked Japanese beatmaker Shin-Ski as well as soul pianist, soul producer and soul dj SWING-O 45 a.k.a. 45 from Tokyo who is the head behind the 45trio. Both of them chose their favorites songs from Eki’s album »還 (Kaeru)« to create their own vibrant reinterpretation.
Besides the limited black edition, there will be a hand-numbered edition of 50 on golden 7″-vinyl via Oonops Drops.
