James Vine, aka ENiGMA Dubz, begins 2021 with a euphoric follow up to last year's "Reverie" EP. New single "First Light" offers a glimmer of hope and warmth as we say goodbye to a turbulent 2020.

This seething mixture of downtempo groove and swirling electronica moves in waves of warm synth tones and percussive rhythm, leaving a sense of tranquility and peacefulness in its wake. The heartbeat kick-drum creates a sense of suspension, as if we are floating in a cloud of of breathy wind-flutes and multicolored chem-trails. "First Light" is a stunning electronic work that touches on many styles - like Ambient, Downtempo, Lo Fi, and Trip-Hop - to deliver a few blissful minutes of sonic chill.

Meaning ito - love, na - summer in Japanese, the Itona project was inspired by the UK lockdown due to COVID-19.
