“After many months and many versions back and forth, Luke and I are excited to share ‘Weekend On A Tuesday‘ with the world. This is a song about breaking away from the norm and choosing to follow your own beat. Sometimes you need to bring the energy to the start of the week – this song is made to get the party started, and we are happy to be part of the launch of anotherblock platform” – R3HAB
“I’m super thrilled to have finally landed this track with R3HAB. Him and I go way back! R3HAB came with this amazing bassline, and I poured a bit more of a housey sound over it. And let’s be honest, ‘Weekend On A Tuesday‘ is how it often feels for us touring DJs. And it’s so exciting we combine this track with the launch of anotherblock” – Laidback Luke
“Music NFTs should combine the amazing worlds that artists create, the color, feeling, emotional connection, with a whole new approach to music purchases, royalties, and fan experiences. NFTs with clear, easy-to-grasp, real-world value promise to transform the music business from its current, sometimes frustrating state into a more artist-friendly, fan-engaging community” – Michel D. Traore (anotherblock co-founder and CEO)
