contours & yadava: cosmic echoes
Francisco Espregueira
Contours and Yadava are currently two of the most exciting producers hailing from the UK. The first emerged in 2015 with a release through Rhythm International Section and since then has developed an impressive discography with projects dropping on Fly High Society, Shall Not Fade and other avant-garde labels. The latter has been delivering outstanding projects since 2018, with stellar releases on Church and Omena Records. Via Flumo and ANMA Records Cosmic Echoes is their collaborative project, built over numerous jam sessions fusing live percussion, bass, drum machine, synthesizers and field recordings to create a raw EP full of soul and warmth.
Cosmic Echoes approaches club genres with ease, most of the time sounding like a beautiful crossroad between jazz, trip-hop and deep house. Floating keys, bass and drum heavy interactions, raw hats and shakers. Introspections and movements. The five original tracks are well complemented with two remixes of “Cascades” from Nian and Skygaze. This joint project from Flumo and ANMA Records dropped last friday and its absolutely essential for the aficionados that roll in the waves of jazz infused electronic music. Available in vinyl.
