The story of this recording began in 2013. A Tree in a Field label head Marlon McNeill approached New York Rapper and Producer Sensational with a simple proposal: would he be interested in contributing vocals to the MIR track «Wheel of Fortune» built around a rhythm that, to his ears, carried something of a hip-hop beat? A Skype conversation followed. Sensational agreed, recorded his part, and only hours later the track arrived in the inbox of A Tree in a Field Records.

It remained there for more than a decade.

Its eventual release arrives under circumstances nobody involved could have anticipated. MIR lost Daniel Buess in February 2016. In August 2026, Sensational, born Colin Julius Bopp, also passed away. What began as an uncomplicated exchange between Basel and New York now stands as a document from a different moment in time. «Wheel of Fortune Sensational» is out on Sunday 18.10.2026 on A Tree in a Field Records. When Sensational would have turned 52.
