Last year, salute shared their Shield EP. Today, the Austrian producer is back with a new song called “system” featuring Empress Of, and it’s the first taste of a project coming soon.

“I think ‘system’ best describes where my head is at in terms of the sound I’m trying to get across,” salute said in a statement. “I’ve been obsessively re-diving into old French records and they’ve had a massive influence on how I produce my music — this one was particularly fun to make. I’m so in love with my pal Empress Of’s vocals on this tune, I’ve wanted to work with her for a number of years now and I’m so pleased we could make this work. As with most of the tunes I’ll be releasing this year, ‘system’ is a collaborative effort: had help from Karma Kid, Andy Smith and Baz Kaye (Bondax) on this one. They came through with the ingredients to tie ‘system’ together beautifully.”

Hear “system” below.
