"I will forever be colliding with a billion unnamed undiscovered stars, each of us on our own orbital paths." [Sanober Khan - Turquoise Silence].
Fresh off the back of his highly regarded album, Berlin producer & live act Joal returns to Constant Circles with his "Eighty Four" EP. Here he delivers three original tracks filled with ethereal soundscapes and spaced out grooves, alongside stellar remixes from established artists Jepe and Jay Hill, who both make their label debuts with their own unique twists on the trademark Joal sound.
From the beautifully layered melodies in opening track "Eighty Four", to the bubbling synths and broken beats of B612, to the driving groove and unorthodox vocals from Esgimo in closing track "Polar", Joal once again demonstrates the breadth of his production skills and musical palette in this EP, taking us on an eclectic and unrelenting musical journey.
The first remix comes from Berlin's Jepe, who has has already built a solid resume in music on platforms such as Moodmusic and Connaisseur and is showing no signs of stopping. A killer bass hook with dynamic synth lines and an epic breakdown are the order of the day in his rework of "Eighty Four". This is a straight up dance floor cut. Having already made waves with releases on world renowned labels such as Superfreq and King Street Sounds, as well as heading up her own imprint People Of The Light, Philadelphia's Jay Hill is clearly on the rise. For the second remix of the release, she adds a deep trippy spin to the original flavour of B612, crafting dreamlike soundscapes over a shuffling beat, with the addition of wistful melodies and an understated spoken vocal to make the production her own.
The music is paired with otherworldly artwork by label regular Stevie Unknown, his dream like piece providing the perfect visual accompaniment to the ethereal sounds of the EP.
