20th May Connected Underground at Club Metro, Kyoto

With the 3-track EP Mantra JOIX opens a new dimension in his electronic music. For the first time he uses his own voice on a larger scale, giving it a machine-like sound that transforms and heightens the meaning of his German words. 
The lead track "Mantra" refers to the techno movement in Germany in the 90s, which JOIX lived and breathed as a teenager. Those mystical experiences – staying awake all night in rooms full of light and sound – came close to the trance states attained by chanting Mantras. This is the main idea and the emotional inspiration behind this pulsating A-side track.
A touch of nostalgia also comes through "Wächter der Nacht". This tune channels the mysterious night, the search for ecstasy and self-dissolution in music clubs protected by the "guards of night". 
Finally, "Klimax" is a dance-floor-banger that distinguishes itself by whipping up immense energy, and its space-filling melody and enormous hall cascades.

It's also released on VINYL as limited edition, only 200 pieces!

Lyrics of "Wächter der Nacht":
~~~
Wir zogen einst in die Nacht hinaus,
wie die Motten auf der Suche nach Licht
über uns funkelten die Sterne
ob wir ankommen würden - wir wussten es nicht.

Dann standen wir in der Schlange
und beteten in uns hinein
Oh Wächter der Nacht
bitte lasst uns herein

Vor uns türmten sie sich auf
die Wächter der Nacht
sie öffneten die heilige Pforte
wir traten ein mit Bedacht

Hinein in unser gelobtes Reich
so groß, so tief und voller Macht
ein Raum voller Klänge und bezauberndem Licht
Wir preisen Euch, oh Wächter der Nacht!

Wir liessen uns fallen im warmen Bad der Gefühle
Blitzlichter zuckten und erhellten den Raum
Es gab nichts dahinter, kein Gedanke an den Morgen
Es war ein Tanz in die Unendlichkeit, ein endloser Traum

Wächter der Nacht
Wir preisen Euch oh Wächter der Nacht
Wächter der Nacht
wir preisen Euch oh Wächter der Nacht
~~~
