Stream: Koett – Golden Peak (Atomnation)

Last month we recommended Lost Time from Russian producer Koett, the first single from his upcoming album Golden Peak. We loved its jazzy leanings and sunny melodies, and reveled in its warm 60s revivalism. It’s with great pleasure that we can bring you this exclusive premiere of the album in its entirety ahead of its release next week. Expanding on the same template as the opening single, Golden Peak blends bright, jazz-influenced house music with twisted electronic workouts. Opener “Assembled”, fittingly, gathers all these elements together, introducing what will be the album’s key touchpoints – dusty pianos, mellifluous synth lines and crisp percussion. The title track takes crashing percussion at 140 and twists it into a frenzied wigout, while “I Am Fly” is all flutes and emotion, like a minor-key rendition of “Lost Time”. Penultimate track “Dew” stands out in more ways than one, an extended ambient interlude that eschews excited tempo to tug at heartstrings and cleanse palettes, while the frozen guitar samples and jaunty kicks of “That’s Stuart” round things off with tongue firmly in cheek. All told it’s a thrilling listen, one we’re delighted to be able to share with you. Enjoy.

Koett – Golden Peak is out on November 25 on Atomnation. Order here.
