Oasis is an exploration of textures, as Bapari attempts to reconstruct materials like glass, metal, or concrete in a sonic dimension. The EP follows their intuition in creating synesthetic translations of hyper-specific atmospheres: solitude, underground tunnels, New York City in autumn, industrial landscapes overtaken by nature. The process “felt like sculpting”, describes Bapari, “I was chipping away… trying to come up with sounds or tones translated from visual influences I found emotionally intriguing.”

The EP came out of a period of grief and turbulence, from a house fire, to insecure housing, to losing a loved one. The power of Bapari’s emotions hits hard on “Void”, made in the face of grief. The track takes on a celestial atmosphere, mirroring their analogy of the loss feeling tantamount to a star collapsing in on itself. “Void” showcases Bapari’s skill at twisting traditional dance beats, modifying the typical 4-on-the-floor techno tempo, and skipping the 4th kick to create a sonic void.
