Melancholic Euphoria With Emika
EMIKA 'Melancholia Euphoria' [Emika Records] 01.12.14
This debut release from Emika Records is a prime example of what can be expected from this highly revered British born Berlin based producer. An enigmatic and unconventional sound with sharp well crafted beats and subtly dark vocals.
Inspired by her experiences as a dj across Europe and beyond, 'Melancholia Euphoria’ is the first in a series of releases designed and designated for the dance floor. These initial two tracks are a clear display of Emika’s understanding and vision of contemporary electronic music, delivering something that exists in a space between pop and avant-garde, combining the artistic freedom of creativity with a defined functionality.
In these two tracks the distinct emotions of melancholy and euphoria are represented, two different feelings that both arrive at the same place.
Melancholia A is filled with shimmering synth sounds, glistening hand claps and a hypnotic, euphoric vocal that sings no words.
Melancholia B is a darker, tougher beat with a bittersweet sentiment, two opposing melodies that eventually meet into a hammering crescendo alongside a relentless galloping piano.
