Two vocal cuts, two dubs. This one’s a slow burn across time and space for all the deeeepp heads 🦉
Aukio Sound feat. John Follass
Hode Medio / Sakpata (RESMAX001)
As a musician, teacher, and ethnographer, Helsinki-based artist Aukio Sound is inspired by the seemingly contradictory social possibilities that electronic music enables: its ability to connect you to others and also the way it can foster deep solitary inner inquiry. It’s what defines and sets apart his music, including his new release on Futura Resistenza. The two singles, “Hode Medio” and “Sakpata,” and their versions, are driven by John Follas’ pristine, honeyed vocals which sound immediate and conversational, as if he’s in the room with you. But the dubby techno arrangements cocoon you in fog-like synth and a meditative beat that encourages the kind of introspection you only experience on a late night walk home alone.
