Khoros Records – Textures [Khoros Records, 2023-01-09]

VARIOUS ARTISTS

While the British label continues to build its solid reputation in the atmospheric techno realm, we are speechless in front of the high personality which emanates from each track that composes the present VA. This is eventually expected from solid producers such as Cauê, Tension and label owners Alexskyspirit and Van Morph. There are however also two less-known names that we are particularly happy to see again: the Turkish artist Ozan Aydin, who enchanted us both musically and visually with his very poetic single “Entrance“, and the Japanese DJ-prodigy Yukari Okamura, who made a remarked entry in the production world with “Promise” and “Theory“.

If you would like to extend your pleasure further, we also recommend the VA “Circular Motion“, curated by the Georgian club BUDE, and containing also some superb atmospheric techno tracks.

Did you ever hear this single by Ozan Aydin, with stunning artwork from his wife Şevval Nida Baladın?

ATMOSPHERIC TECHNO

The Turkish artist is a newcomer in the scene, which he has obviously been studying for a while, before releasing “Entrance”, his very first work. In his electronic music discoveries, he seems to have quickly reached the shores of our hypnotic techno, after a quick tour in the cinematic music of French genius Rone. “Hypnotic” and “cinematic” definitely qualify “Entrance”, a fabulous two-tracker, impressive both musically and visually, with Şevval Nida Baladın’s stunning artwork. It’s hard to believe that this is a first release… “Genius alert”?
