Continuing their run of club singles to close out 2024, Peder Mannerfelt and Pär Grindvik once again channel their avant-pop production (Fever Ray, Björk) into a classy demonstration of dancefloor maximalism. 'Keep Moving' rides on a rough and ready rhythm section of crooked drums and brooding bass, teasing out a hype energy through snatches of vocals that peak at the mid-section. With hooks in all the right places and driven by dramatic tension, it's a fine demonstration of Aasthma's keen instinct for what makes a banger.

WIYB 001 - KJINN (Side B)

Rooted in the underground mentality of the 90s, the whole thing is quite evocative, grabbing hold of a euphoric funk sound and transporting it into the 2020s with a modern, high-tempo pulse. In blending the raw, pumping energy of warehouse techno with the glimmer of disco cabaret, the Bay Area native takes a refreshing tangent on dancefloor tools which render themselves distinct from his contemporaries in the space.

Zero Idea describes Xpressions as a deeply personal journey— “each track, mood and sonic idea is a dance floor representation of significant life events that shaped my adult years”. The album lands as a maturation of both musical composition and personal character for the artist.

From the atmosphere building intro in “Foreword”, to the uptempo soul of “Seventh Heaven”, and the high voltage intensity of “Overload”, the album delivers a carefully contained and diligently paced listening experience, where the vivacity of the tracks is at no point overwhelming, and yet the energy never fails to deliver. Standout moments include title track “Xpression”, a relentless, straight-to-the-point tech-funk heater which perfectly showcases the Zero Idea ethos, as well as ‘Epiphany’ with its blissful blend of deep melodies and driving beats which encapsulate the album’s emotional depth.
