George Davis is back with the second installment of his Ona series, released under the kickin' up dust label. Ona EP Part II features four high-karat-gold tracks that showcase Davis' talent for a special blend of jazz elements with infectious afro-influenced electronic grooves. The EP kicks off with “Gomera”, a track that immediately grabs your attention with its jazzy bassline, snazzy piano keys, and rhythmical vocals that will make you want to move.

“Bumpa” follows, a track designed for the dancefloor with its infectious groove and whimsical flute-like melodies. It's a perfect blend of catchy rhythms and playful melodies that will keep your feet moving. The EP concludes with “Soul Journey”, a beautiful slow-burning vision of sunset shores and distant views, demonstrating Davis' ability to create a mesmerizing atmosphere with his production, inviting listeners on a special sonic journey. A rising star in the electronic music scene, George Davis is a name to keep under the radar. Ona EP Part II is available on vinyl, don’t sleep.
