Kimochi Electronic & Dance 10 Items

Effervescent, even buoyant optimism shoots effortlessly through this quartet of tunes. The vivid neon melody rippling at the core of Post-Typhoon Shakeddown moves towards a more subdued soaring warmth on From The Cockpit. Love The Lights is propelled by a glowing momentum; Paw Print closes the record with a carefree breeze. Conoley Ospovat is back on Kimochi Sound.

Shine Grooves is a multifaceted artist, and this second record for Kimochi Sound explores two sides of that personality. The delicate, introspective, expressive precision of After All, DPS v55, and Secret move from sublime resignation to summery exuberance to a kind of earnest meditation. On the other side, collaborations with X343 yield a more extroverted approach: spontaneous mutations turn rolling grooves into unpredictable improvisational explorations.

Today Kimochi Sound gets Baltic Sea sonar pinging techno deep, maybe something like bridging the gap between Sleeparchive and Mono Junk. There are enough hypnotic spaces and hallucinatory frequencies in these loops to tide over the dark winter months, with enough funk packed into the riddims to inspire some heated early morning grooves.

Snad continues to break new ground in his mad prolificacy. The stunning sonic precision of Akufen collides with the funky rhythmic sensibility of Titonton from the very first tune here. The blue chords on First Flake float over a bumpity house groove; The Extract and Flaw inject breaks into the flow. Completely of this moment, yet with an unmistakable timelessness, Snad's distinctive balancing act is a remarkable success.

Radiant melodies interwoven with slippery polyrhythms are the order for the day on the first Kimochi Sound release for 2021.

After Sw. contributed heavily to Kimochi 13, 14, and 15, he's taken a little sabbatical to travel the world - releasing sounds for LOVEiT, R&S sublabel Apollo, Night Defined, Acido, and of course his homebase at Sued. Now, a triumphant return to Kimochi Sound for #44, where Sw. takes the opportunity to really spread his wings. From the instantly catchy UK garage stylings of inCOMPlete to 90s hrdcr supreme to the jazz-inflected percussion workout of rOAch rOAd 0.1 X-loose to the industrial spatial noise exploration of herbperp, this is an auteur who dares you to name the genre.

Shielding's Innerlig is viscous, densely detailed, trippy music. Dripping with texture, these are supple tunes that generously expand to fill whatever space they're in, loops stretching towards the lilac virtual horizon.

Sweltering, humid emotion permeates the gauzy atmosphere and rolling basslines on Neotnas' latest. The tracks here combine the artists' loves of junglism, 'ardcore, stoned ambience, and classic house. Taken together, it's a batch of instantly nostalgic grooves and future / past chillout rave reimaginings.
