What would a Europe trip on beats sound like? From his hometown Essen, Bastido is going on a total of 22 songs all over the continent. On the way he soaks up the influences of the respective cities and countries and processes them into beautiful songs. The theme of travelling runs through the songs and is clearly elaborated directly in the first single, "postcard to grandma", which would later became the album's most successful song with more than 1,2M streams on Spotify. He stops over in "metelkova", the alternative cultural centre of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana - its new theme song featuring damaa.beats made it into Spotify's official Jazz Vibes playlist. 
Like hardly any other producer Bastido proves his wonderful feeling for catchy melodies that immediately stay in your ears and spread a completely positive vibe. The basis is always a melodic jazz hop, which he always combines with typical sounds of different places. The result is a versatile and yet completely harmonious album with charming and warm melodies.
