Four Candles & Kabi (AR) team up to release the two-track EP ‘Sofa Surfing’ on Hernan Cattaneo’s label Sudbeat.

UK based Four Candles has risen the ranks in a short time with stand-out releases for Bedrock, Balance Music, Selador, and his own Keep Thinking imprint. A DJ at heart, his sets ooze emotion and melody, making him the go-to DJ of choice. Equally, Kabi (AR) has made his mark with gusto. Releases for everyone from Soundteller to Anjunadeep show his diversity. This is an exciting pairing that thrives on creative, emotion-led storytelling.

Opening with ‘Sofa Surfing’, we are invited into their deep, vibey world with rubbery bass and expansive pads. Evolving over time, the melodic layers ebb and flow, creating a rich sonic tapestry of warmth and inclusion. On the flipside, ‘Need U’ begins in a similar fashion: vibey bass, warm synth stabs and sparse percussion. With storytelling at its heart, the melodics soar midway. A sensational partnership in the making for sure.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Sofa Surfing’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!

Release Date: December 19th, 2025. Buy Here
