Shaggydog - “Insomnia” (Heruwa Remix) Feat. Sal Priadi

Sixteen years after its release, “Insomnia” returns with a fresh twist through the touch of Heruwa, the original lyricist. This remix embraces a trippy atmosphere reminiscent of the 90s Bristol sound: layered basslines, minimalist drums, and airy synthesizers that evoke a moody vibe. Making it even more special, Heruwa invites Sal Priadi to deliver angst-laden spoken words that close this sonic journey. Sal’s long-standing connection with Shaggydog, from live performances to music videos, makes the collaboration feel organic. “Insomnia (Heruwa Remix feat. Sal Priadi)” already available on many DSPs distributed by DoggyHouse Records.
