“Dazed” has industrial influenced percussion played in fast flowing rhythms that breathe energy into the track and give it a strong dancefloor focus. In contrast to the hard hitting drums and rumbling bass, the lead synth plays slow and poignant chords, which tell a tale of sorrow. Building with tension as it develops, the intricate melodies in this track are an intelligent fusion of thundering Techno and tender emotion.

This release is the first of two singles to be taken from the album titled 'Waking Up The Neighbours', and gives a sneak peak as to what to expect from the full release.

The album is forthcoming on Uto Karem’s label Agile Recordings and is scheduled for release in June 2017.

Dazed

AGILE080 Uto Karem - Dazed

"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." - Albert Einstein

I will never completely understand the composition of music. It doesn't mean that it can't bring me the greatest pleasure I've ever known in life. I'm so happy to witness the evolution of electronic music through many years, and I'm excited (and ever so curious) to see how it evolves further. 

Thanks to the producers who make it possible, and the DJs that bring it to life in another light. I can't thank all of you enough for the countless hours of listening pleasure, the shit-eating-grin that practically breaks my face, and the contentment that fills my mind and soul... Perfection does not come easy; however in music, I have found it's infinitely possible... Words cannot express my gratitude for your talents and that you share your gift with all who will listen… 

Thank you Sound Cloud for giving me a healthy addiction, despite your many f*cks up and flaws.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything." - Plato

"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul."

"Music is the art of thinking with sounds." ― Jules Combarieu

"Sometimes it only takes one song to bring back a thousand memories."

"Without deviations from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa

"I hope you like the same music as me.... But it would also be nice if you could show me other good music I've never heard."

"Ultimately, I just want someone who knows which songs not to talk over."

"Music to me is like breathing - I don't get tired of breathing, I don't get tired of music." - Ray Charles

"My best friends are playlists."

"Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can listen to today.... If you must expect, expect nothing.... The instant we start trying to listen, our minds get in the way.... If you have to seek for the meaning behind the music, you'll never find it.... What a sad, boring universe if all music were the same.... Like life, each musical composition has a beginning, and an end. What truly matters is what we choose to do during the interval.... Emotions and thoughts beat in the heart, reside in the mind, die with the body. Transformed into music, emotions and thoughts echo in the heart, resonate in the mind, live on forever...." - John Ortiz, PhD (The Tao of Music)
