Acclaimed Jazz Beat producer FloFilz teams up with experimental Hip-Hop/Jazz quartet Bokoya for collabo album ‘Yurika’ on Melting Pot Music. Double single ‘Reaching Out / Stalagtight’ is the fourth taster.

What happens when a four-headed human drum computer meets a classically trained violinist turned beatmaker to spend time in the studio? A beautiful lily blossom. At least this was the case when Bokoya and FloFilz entered Atelier 21 in Aachen (a Produzentengalerie für globale Kunst) for a musical encounter with no goals set. The music that was born out of these sessions is simply amazing and we are more than happy to release them as an album under the name ‘Yurika’ - Japanese for „beautiful lily“.

‘Yurika’ will be available digital and on LP with artwork by Jens Roth & Jeremias Diekmann. The 19-track strong instrumental album includes one vocal track featuring Japanese singer Kano San. Prior to the album drop in December, we will release five digital singles.

FloFilz is one of Europe's most acclaimed Jazz Beat producers with four albums on MPM under his belt (and close to 300 million streams). His last album ‘Close Distance’ came out in 2022 and featured artists Alfa Mist, Blue Lab Beats, Jerome Thomas, and Summers Sons. FloFilz is a classically trained musician who not only plays the TR 404 but also violin. 

Bokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play improvised beat music. You can call it jazz if you like (all four members are graduated jazz musicians) but be ready to stumble over some Dilla, Kraut Rock, Ambient or Dub in the mix. In 2022 Bokoya released their second album ‘Hausensession’ on MPM, followed by a collabo album with Cologne-based producer Gianni Brezzo (Jakarta Records) called ‘Minari’.
