Tbilisi's East Duo arrive at this reworking with the confidence of a band who already know the tune works — their original "Chubina" did the improbable trick of colonising algorithmic feeds the world over, racking up streams in the hundreds of millions and prompting a frankly absurd quantity of strangers to film themselves dancing badly to it. The temptation, having stumbled into that kind of ubiquity, would be to chase the same rush twice. Instead, the duo have done something rather more interesting: they've taken the chassis of a viral hit and stripped it for parts, rebuilding it as something hushed, patient, almost devotional.

Mikey La Luna's latest offering arrives as both provocation and prayer, a piece of work that refuses the easy comforts of either the spiritual or the secular. "Hallelujah" – rendered trilingual in its title, spanning Hebrew, Arabic, and English – is mantra-electronic music at its most ambitious, a track that dares to treat the club as cathedral and the DJ booth as pulpit.

The collision between spiritual practice and electronic music has produced its share of casualties over the decades – earnest new-age noodling that mistakes crystals for composition, or cynical appropriation that strips sacred texts of meaning while adding kick drums. Mikey La Luna's debut EP Embrace the Light navigates this treacherous terrain with more conviction than finesse, delivering a curious artifact that feels simultaneously ancient and utterly contemporary.
