mCurtis a.k.a Emanouil Kourtikakis returns with his brand new and second full length album "Faro". After his debut album "Yomi" two years ago and followed by "Yomi Remixed" last year, we are excited to present you his new album "Faro". 

With eight new and fresh tracks "Faro" moves over downtempo, trip hop and beat making electronica blended in a multi-genre concept combining organic instruments and spaced out cosmic vibes. Beats, synthesizers, double bass, piano keys, trumpet and saxophones are the fundamental elements of this album. The entire package visualises different aspects, feelings and concerns of the past year. 

Last month the single "Spark" was taken and released from this album featuring California / USA based MC Rapper Lost Poet providing his cool hip hop vocals, while on the saxophone is featured Lunar Moods (Nikos Chalkias) to showcase the album. Serbian based singer Nina De Lianin contributes on the opening track with her wonderful vocal and lyrics on "Draw a new Picture" while she also contributed on "I Agua" telling a story with the words and story written by mCurtis. Drums on "Defiled Panacea" by Serafeim Stroumpis. 

Mixing: Sonic Arts Productions

Cover Design: Michael Gourlemakis

mCurtis - Faro will be available on December 11, 2020 in special edition CDR and digital download at Kraak Store and all mp3 retailers across the internet.

Born in Heraklion of Crete Island and raised in both the city  and the Matala sea side area.  Started working as a radio producer/dj at the age of eighteen. 
In parallel to djing, he delves into production in 2012,while the next year he finds him-self at Dubspot DJ school at New York, working in a better production level and in a few years he presented the YOMI LP album which became one of the 50 best trip hop albums of 2018 (according to trip hop nation).  Two more albums and numerous singles/remixes followed the next years.
The productions and the music written, most of the times, have social implications and are derived by the daily life and concerns of  the artist. Usually highly inspired by his interest and love for the nature and the protection of the falling enviroment.
