Following the hypnotic first single ‘Mooning’, Belgian producer and composer Dijf Sanders presents ‘Mountain On The Hill’, released today. The track offers a second glimpse into ‘Tangkoa II’, his upcoming album set for release on May 8.
‘Mountain On The Hill’ quickly draws attention with the melodic saxophone of Viktor Perdieus, which threads its way through the piece and gives the track its distinct character. Around it, Sanders builds a steady groove shaped by Simon Segers’ driving drums and field recordings collected during his travels in Vietnam.
Organic sounds and electronic processing move side by side, creating a rhythm that feels physical and fluid rather than programmed. Details gradually surface as the track unfolds, culminating in a Vietnamese vocal appearing near the end, a brief but striking moment that connects the music back to its source.
In the lead-up to the album release, Sanders has also introduced ‘Tangkoa II’ through a series of hidden test pressings. Last weekend, a first copy featuring unique artwork by Arthur Devisscher was secretly placed somewhere in the city of Ghent. Additional copies will appear in the coming weeks in other Belgian cities, including Antwerp and Brussels, with fans encouraged to keep an eye on Sanders’ social channels for clues.
With ‘Mountain On The Hill’, Dijf Sanders continues to reveal the world of ‘Tangkoa II’: rhythm-driven electronic music shaped by live interaction, acoustic elements, and sounds gathered along the way.
