Loki says that his single, "Nog Een", which he recorded together with Die Heuwels Fantasties, already had its origins in 2018. "I was busy with music for the kykNET series Tydelik Terminaal at the time. The score for this series had a strong electronic feel to it. At the same time, I was busy with the writing and recording of my debut Afrikaans album, that took almost four years to complete. I needed three more songs to complete te album. A 40 second- piece of music for the Tydelik Terminaal soundtrack stuck with me and inspired the chorus and verse of the single “Nog Een.” I just knew that I had to ask Die Heuwels Fantasties if they would be keen to collab on this particular track. It was a perfect fit. Pierre Greeff from Die Heuwels Fantasties has been working with Loki on various music productions and projects for many years. He says: “Loki can do absolutely everything. He is the real deal. I really like what we did here. “Nog Een” is one of my favourite collabs up to date.”
