KIWA’s Dystopic Sci-fi is a collection of moods from a bygone era, before the digital revolution became a central part of our everyday lives. The album takes its musical influence from the last decades of the 20th century - ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s - which is also the reason it was produced, mixed and mastered using analog equipment.  KIWA has been a veteran on sound design and electronic music over the past 2 decades and has released with more than 20 labels worldwide over his career.  He has been laying low on music for the past two years perfecting his craft and wanting to bring something different into the current world of electronic music. These tracks were originally written between 2014 and 2022 and truly give us that nostalgic feel that we crave for in music.  

“On a personal level, the album is an embodiment of my musical influences and different periods of my life and moments that have stayed with me emotionally one way or another. Those moments could be a sunset on a deserted tropical beach, smokey lounges with a vibe from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a neon colored night drive through a city you just arrived in or an ocean of thousands dancing in unison at the coolest event of the year.” - Markku Louhio (KIWA)

A massive 15 track album, this release truly blends all styles and ideas of electronic music, while still staying cohesive under the retro nostalgia they all envelop.  Across The Globe (feat. Jackson Whalan) kickstarts the album off to a rowdy star with glitch hop goodness and rap, acid bass and funky breakbeats throughout with a high energy banger.  G’s n Things keeps the glitchy funk and leans more into the breakbeats and the retro influences, truly sounding like a soundtrack to a heist movie.  Metaphor (feat. Suspira and Bea Aino) continues the breakbeats but adds beautiful catchy female vocals, this one will get stuck in your head and is another perfect movie soundtrack and teleports us back in time.  Sjuka Dagar Revisited (feat. Arosa Ensemble) picks up the BPM and is a funky drum & bass track with live horns and synths filling the soundscape, beautiful vocals from Arosa and a fast pace hard to not move to.  Just A Hack has repetitive AI vocals and is a fun stab at META and social media, truly reminding us of Knife Party’s Internet Friends in the best way possible.  Carbon brings in a four on the floor house beat and funky bass and old school synths that instantly teleport us into a Tron world.  Point Blank  is another high energy drum & bass track full of cinematic builds and high energy that is ready to get the dancefloor moving.  Pixels To Eternity (feat. Manos Libres) slows down the tempo for a laidback groove with Manos on the vocals with wet bass and a slow breakbeat groove to nod along to.  Back To The Future is the funkiest track on the album and is full of classic retro synths and catchy vocoder lyrics from the classic track “Time” from Pink Floyd, truly bringing us back to the future.  Paradox has an epic build and brings in a four on the floor g-house drop with huge stabbing basses and truly brings us back to the early rave days.  Mirage brings back the breakbeat into a heavy banger that is impossible not to move to.  Fade To Night opens with an epic arpeggiated synth into a perfect breakbeat flow and beautiful pads and keys, truly a track you need for a night-time drive. Chunky Bit Of Luck starts as a beautiful synth driven slow breaks track and quickly turns into a glitchy heavy anthem filled with horns and bass.  No Games is another more synth driven track that pulls back from the heavier styles and back to the funky roots of some of the first tracks on the release.  Made Up My Mind (feat. Manos Libres and Tim Duster) closes the album with beautiful piano and a laid back breakbeat groove full of live guitar and brass instruments, a perfect closing to the journey through KIWA’s sound.

Release notes: 

The album "Solace" from electronic music artist Spoq is an immersive sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of genre and experimentation. Fusing elements of IDM, Chillout, and Triphop, Spoq crafts a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that captivates listeners from start to finish.
At the heart of "Solace" lies Spoq's unparalleled ability to seamlessly blend beats, electro-acoustic elements and unconventional synthetic sounds and noises into compositions that defy categorization. Each track shows Spoq's skillful craftsmanship, with layers of intricate detail inviting listeners into a world of sonic exploration.
One of the album's defining characteristics is its dynamic range, which manifests in both tempo shifts and mood variations. From moments of serene introspection to breathtaking emotional outbursts, "Solace" takes listeners on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is captivating.
The music often carries an introverted and melancholic tone, reflecting themes of solitude and longing. Yet, amidst the melancholy, there is a sense of catharsis as the music builds towards powerful crescendos, offering moments of emotional release and redemption.
Throughout "Solace," Spoq demonstrates a mastery of composition that is both awe-inspiring and deeply affecting. Each track is carefully crafted, with every sonic element serving a purpose in conveying the album's overarching themes and emotions.
"Solace" is more than just an album—it's an artistic vision and innovation in electronic music. With its beauty, complexity, and emotional depth, "Solace" invites listeners to embark on a transformative journey that lingers long after the final note fades away.
