about

Madloch's Sound Avenue continues a successful year by welcoming Nopi back to the label for his debut EP. The Ukrainian artist and organic house favourite has highlighted 2020 with a pair of remixes for the Belgian imprint, reworking Bigasti & Balad's ‘The Days' and ‘Pearl' by Paula OS. Having built an impressive resume at just over eighteen months into his production journey, the Ukrainian talent also calls Akbal Music, Kindisch, Seven Villas and When We Dip XYZ home. Now embarking on his first EP project for Sound Avenue, Nopi presents his much anticipated four track showcase ‘Where To Go'

Already beloved for his melody crafting prowess, that sentiment will only grow with the title selection ‘Where To Go'. Anchored by a warm, progressive minded groove, its atmospheric scope comes up quickly, with glowing overlays and blissful vocal wails layering a bed of finely tuned percussion. The vocal narrative takes centrestage across the main break; emotive and hopeful in equal measure, it resonates beautifully against a wave of meditative arps, flowing through tasteful modulation as the groove drops for a finale of nostalgic chord changes.

Expanding his portfolio further, Nopi works with Argentinean vocalist Sarah Chilanti on the EP's second selection ‘Flatter'. Its well carved groove is fluid yet funky; perfectly contoured and characterized by undulating sonics. It provides the perfect foundation for waves of exotic percussion and buoyant rhythmic themes, as Sarah's enchanting wails and cascading piano's trail across a heartfelt centrepiece, before a gentle rush cues an impassioned final movement.

The EP's midway point finds Nopi exploring a deeper narrative with ‘Hookan Idyll'. From stripped down beginnings comes hopeful atmospheres and redolent shades, slowly descending over dulcet beats, organic drums and dusty artefacts. As the narrative evolves so too does its emotive appeal, with hazy harmonics and vocal fragments trailing over the framework, before a misty break effortlessly segues into a charming final act.

Rounding out the release are the deeper, ethereal vibes of ‘Sense In Nature'. Known for sitting comfortably between progressive and organic house, Nopi's borderless vision fuels this meditative gem. It's warm beats, perfectly sculpted bass and effervescent percussion unite for a fluid rhythmic core. Buzzing effects and cross-cultural overlays then advance the narrative with an effortless ease, splitting moods between the surreal and soulful. Building to a robust rumble, the centrepiece captivates and excites with its dynamic pulses, before gently accelerating to a tasteful crescendo. It rounds out a spirited collection of music from Nopi, making his first original project for Sound Avenue a most memorable one.
