Zoning Out, Volume 1

Description

Emapea, the famous Polish beatmaker, burst onto the scene with multiple appearances on compilations on Cold Busted, an inclusion on Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz 8, and his impressive debut album Seeds, Roots & Fruits. Fans around the world are clamoring for a follow-up, but all Emapea wanted was to simply "zone out." And that's exactly what happened with the release of Emapea's twenty-track album, Zoning Out, Volume 1. Emapea's tracks are meant for the listener to get lost in – but they are not just for chilling or when one is deep in thought; they also serve to enter that crucial head-nodding zone, like when the DJ drops the dopest beat. Perfectly crafted and sequenced, the album offers a journey of dreamy, spacey boom-bap while remaining hard and jazzy. "Check It Out" illustrates the vibe with its soft drums, tinkling keys, subtle saxophone riffs, and hip-hop nods. The atmosphere deepens on "Motion," adding an exotic and worldly flavor to the seductive, meandering rhythm. And "Classy" features a smoky lounge piano melody that oozes confidently from the jeep-beat speakers. This track was recently featured on a limited postcard record, discreetly sent to lucky Emapea supporters. Zoning Out, Volume 1 establishes Emapea as an artist to watch on the international beat scene.
