We are excited to present you the debut LP album from mCurtis. Yomi takes us into a mysterious shadow land, a result of an experimentation journey that was born a couple of years ago. mCurtis joined forces with other artists to expand Yomi's musical landscape.

The influences coming from a deep thought and a variety of music genres, from jazz and blues to electronic beats and synths blended with a deep trip hop and downtempo style. In this album the artist had to express his sincere appreciation and gratitude to all the artists that collaborated in this project, taking his music to a place beyond.

Yomi was written, produced and arranged by Manos 'mCurtis' Kourtikakis. Recorded between 2016 and 2018 at various locations. Mixed in Groove Studio.

Cover Design: Kostas Kiriakakis

Audiophile Analog Mastering: Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos @ Timewarp Mastering
