While German duo Booka Shade is known for its danceable tech-house, this holiday season finds cohorts Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger laying low to a mellower kind of groove. On December 12, the boys are releasing a special digital album on their Get Physical Music label. Cinematic Shades (The Slow Songs) is a collection of emotional and melancholy ambient songs to chill out to while you recover from all the eggnog and New Year’s Eve debauchery. Additionally, the new album will include a previously unreleased track, “Paper Plane,” as well as an unreleased remix of “Outskirts” by Trentmøller. The album will be available exclusively on iTunes.
