Seth Troxler continues to shed light on the frontiers of his musical interest and offers up the next record on Soft Touch - his imprint specialising in the more celestial strains of Indie, Rock, Electronica and everything in between.

Following releases from Lovecall and Clarian - this third instalment comes from a fresh nomadic trio: AOU who align their esoteric set up and a wide range of influences to present their ‘Gordo Laika’ EP.

Initially Brought together via a love of the culture surrounding skateboarding, and with one foot on each side of the English Channel, AOU combines the vocal aptitude of Guy Stevenson, multi-instrumentalIST flair and the production knowledge of William Moreau and Quentin Sarda.

Listing influences as polaric as Air and Joy Division and with a creative attitude anchored in a love of travel and exploration, AOU produce music that gives a nod to their inspirations in the creation of something entirely new.

With Futureboogie’s Christophe bridging the gap between label and artist, an apt pairing is formed and, with the release of ‘Gordo Laika’, we get an enlivening insight into an auspicious new musical collective as well as the further strengthening of Soft Touch’s evolving catalogue

KOAKOTI: The Legend of Rhythms Crossing Continents

KOAKOTI is a Russian DJ known for her unique style of Afro House that blends ancient rhythms with contemporary sounds. This enigmatic nickname comes from an ancient word meaning "soul of dance" in the language of a forgotten African tribe, symbolizing the connection between past traditions and the present.

From the very start of her career, KOAKOTI actively toured Russia, performing at well-known venues in Moscow and other cities. Seeking new experiences and inspiration, she moved to Turkey, where she spent six months captivating the Turkish audience with her sets and immersing herself in the unique atmosphere of the country.

But her journey didn’t stop there. The next chapter led her to Thailand, where she lived for 1.5 years, regularly performing at top venues on the islands of Phangan, Samui, and Phuket. Absorbing local sounds and rhythms, KOAKOTI incorporated them into her musical style, creating unforgettable sonic landscapes.

KOAKOTI embodies the nomadic spirit of music, bringing people together and making them move to the beat of both ancient and modern rhythms. Her sets are an immersion into exotic soundscapes, where each performance becomes an unforgettable adventure. Young and talented, with refined taste, KOAKOTI continues to inspire listeners' hearts worldwide.
