Emissive - City Of Rooms on Telephone Explosion Records set to be released on April 8th

The Canadian DJ and producer, Emissive, running the Planet Island party series in Toronto will be releasing Emissive’s City of Rooms digitally and on Vinyl.

The 5-track EP was completed in February 2021 and invites us to an uplifting and still abstract listening experience. "The EP flows like scenery on a long train ride. Track lights pass with a rhythmic certainty as foreground and background twist around each other. Listeners will be transported through the geography of sounds that function as independent parts of a whole. Triangulations occur as elements fall into different forms of relief against each other."

With a fast rythmic ambient sound the Toronto electronic music artist builds a landscape with rings of Roland toms and hi-hats pierce clouds of bright pads. “The signature chaotic truth of acidic 303 patterns cross time kept by a twitching rhythm section rendered in field samples from the local grocery store. Arpeggiated slopes built off of echo and fuzz ascend, a remote whistle answers the syncopated call of a güiro before transforming into a cricket in flight and revealing that there is a latin backbone to much of the percussion on City of Rooms.”

A sound with brightness and groove you want to dance immediately to.
