yokoo and retza return to all day i dream with four wonderful tracks furthering their emotional reach on the dance floor.
“euneirophrenia” (the peaceful state of mind after a pleasant dream ... see we teach you things!) is an exercise in how best to use the sound of an elephant in a breakdown. featuring one of the sickest bass line the label has released, this tune has rocked each and every time it’s dropped, and been asked for repeatedly.
“orenda” goes deep. it is a lonesome melancholic beauty that slowly opens and delicately presents strings and subtle vocals.
“tarantism” evokes the fading days of summertime as winter approaches. its lonely chords and sad strings pull on the heart. gorgeous and very all day i dream.
“yügen” closes out the ep with another slow burner. gently blossoming from its drum led intro, the emotive melodies build while deeper tones play off them and punctuate to make it a gorgeous piece of music.
yokoo has been slowly gaining a well deserved reputation for quality the past few years. already playing our events and an integral part of our family he first featured one of his productions on last summer s sampler. finally his own solo release sees the beautiful light of day. each track perfectly crafts an atmosphere. each a story unto itself. yokoo enlists friend and multi talented artist retza to add an extra layer of emotion to his already complex musical compositions. the result? a three track ep to not only send you soaring in to space at certain moments but also, at he same, time have you explore organic musical jungles, oceans and deserts of our world and others yet discovered. no one is really sure what that means exactly so why not let the music describe itself.
as the dust only just begins to settle after the sensational release of matthias meyers watergate 20 installment, its time to unleash the mixes exclusive cuts. kicking things off, meyer delivers an enchanting ride with la strings, where whimsical pads rise and sweep as a hypnotizing bass line whirls endlessly across a landscape of earthy percussion. while still maintaining his trademark sound but taking a slightly deeper path, meyer conjures up the super dreamy uluwatu. settled firmly in rich organic percussion and lush melodies, uluwatu jaunts effortlessly through overgrown rain forests and lavish emotions. next up is gorje hewek and izhevskis turgoyakk and its an absolute gem. opulent pads, sensuous strings and powerful keys culminate in a profoundly vivid tour into truly emotional territory. finally, yokoo & retza deliver an impressive number with the dazzling satori which is laced with ornate keys and soft siren calls rounding up the release with timeless style
