about

Retrospective turned prospective, Willem eyes a better future.

Swelling in tandem, atmospherics join a spine of kick and snare, with Precusor delivering a delightful display of colour and vibrancy. Rounding out a scintillating broken rhythm, silky dotted hats dance atop vivid brass accents and a sustained sub, with floating plucks gifting the piece another fervent dimension.

Warm Notes introduces a soundscape of unperturbed nature, with a high vocal pad affording a resonant top layer. Offset by a focal synth and sporadic vocals, a robust Reese bass propels a magnetic 2-step beat, with drenched percussion littered across a sentimental stereo field.

Centred around a sturdy selection of drums, Neo Exotic sees a broad kick joined by modulating sounds, bleeding into a pair of rich and resplendent breakdowns. Serving a sprinkle of emotion and nostalgia, a gated vocal pad glances thirty years into the past, returning to fade into an arpeggiated crux.

A window into her sideways synapses, a charismatically chopped Amen break interacts with an assortment of melodies, with AHJU’s take on Warm Notes allowing several visions to coexist with scatterbrained synergy.

Not one to relent, Suki approaches Warm Notes with his signature sonic vigour. Ever-engaging, a persistent pulse comprises kick and off-beat thud, with a masterfully manipulated 303 wandering along the aural spectrum.
