LUV HRTS is the new collaborative project between GRAMMY®-nominated producer Benjamin David (Mild Minds) and Victor Pakpour of the alt-indie duo Ruby Haunt. Together, they just released their debut EP, ‘Hearts Vol. 1’, which is now available via MOODS INTL.
The four-track collection features the lead single “STAY”, accompanied by “U REALLY HURT ME,” “GONNA GET THRU,” and “CAN WE DO BETTER?”, offering a compelling mix of emotive storytelling and polished production. “STAY” stands out as a deeply personal reflection and is described as “a heartfelt message to someone deeply cherished,” exemplifying the duo’s ability to blend emotional depth with refined electronic soundscapes. Accompanying the release is a music video directed by Mateusz Mazur, which further enriches the project’s narrative by adding a cinematic layer to its evocative sound.
Reflecting on their journey, Benjamin shares, “Victor and I have been connected through music for years. We first worked together on video projects before exchanging ideas and discovering shared musical influences. Our occasional jam sessions led to the creation of ‘Dopamine’ on my first Mild Minds album. As Victor started producing more, we exchanged even more ideas, realizing our mutual love for emotional dance music. That’s when LUV HRTS was born.”
‘Hearts Vol. 1’ is the first official project from this creative partnership, representing a milestone for LUV HRTS, and so far garnering attention from BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Dance’ plus other renowned sources.
