Steve shares: “Collaborating with Koven on “Nervous System” was an incredible experience. I’ve been a fan of their work for a while, so when the chance came up to work together, it was a no-brainer. They brought such a unique energy to the track, and I think we really created something special that both our fan bases are going to vibe with. This is a track that represents the best of both our worlds.”
Koven adds: “Doing a collaboration with Steve had been a goal of ours for quite a few years. We finally got to meet him at Tomorrowland 2023, and at this point we had already done a remix of one of his tracks. He said he’d love to work with us again which made us absolutely giddy so we took our opportunity to send some ideas his way, and the rest is history. We are so proud of the final track and working with Steve was such a lovely experience!”
