‘Wild Horse’ is John Askew’s latest collaboration with Shelby Merry and the final single to be released ahead of ‘A Room Full Of Pros And Cons’ - his third long-form. Also, taking the role of the album’s swansong finale, compared to anything John’s released before, the track is markedly different.

John and Shelby’s paths first crossed when he relocated Ms Merry’s ‘When Darkness Comes’ from its folk/country origins to 2022’s club floors. Since then, John and the Ohio-born/Nashville-based singer have stayed in contact, always contemplating a follow-up to the track, and the opportunity presented itself with the 10-year anniversary of Shelby’s ‘Young Guns’ album. A plan was hatched to reimagine one of his favourites from its number.

The gateway to May sees VII turn loose ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ – the label’s fourth double disc music comp. Mixed & compiled by trance artist John Askew, the album provides an expo of his bilingual approach to the genre. The Dusk disc underscores tougher, techier sounds, whilst Dawn sheds more light on melodies, primetime tempos and higher-power euphoria.
