Producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist Nordfold presents the stunning Goldfold EP, the second release on Budakids groundbreaking new label Flores, on September 27th. Amsterdams Simon van Leunen, AKA Nordfold has a family tree chock-full of Dutch professional musicians, dating back generations. Being immersed in music this way is what makes Nordfolds music so incredible - rich, deep, instinctively knowing how to create a mood and to stir your emotions through music, as shown across his many brilliant releases on Anjunadeep and Watergate. This makes his music perfect for Flores, a label where Budakid, his friend and long-time collaborator, is collating the best, most original electronic music, with a focus on cinematic quality soundscapes and music that makes you feel. The titular track, Goldfold starts with a solid 4/4 kick, paired with a more complex breaksy hi-hat. Nordfold lets his music breathe, giving you time to get into the rhythm, before adding a deep soulful bassline thirty seconds in. Layers of atmospheric synths stir you inside, Goldfold emerges from its seed case growing up gloriously through the frost towards the sunshine. The melodic 303 line fills you with a warm feeling in your tummy as Goldfold blooms. Upbeat yet relaxed, exciting and calming at the same time. The soulful vocal sample only adds to this as the music pulses and swells, taking you with it on their meandering currents like a leaf on a stream, Nordfold explains: Goldfold existed from pure longing to the endless summer days and sunsets. I started the track during the darker and cold winter days where the musical ideas felt like a future sun kiss. I finished it in the summer. Goldfold both longs for and experiences the golden days. Its a playful tune, flirting with breaks, old school basses and fresh progressive elements in the background. Machine, the second track, is an uplifting and nostalgic broken beat. Nordfold again with the musicality to let his tracks breathe. His signature synthwork defines his craft within the world of electronic music. Machine has a dreamy, 3D quality, melodic and machine synths buzzing around you like fireflies, interchanging, weaving and always adding to the vibe. Nordfold tells us more: With Machine I had the intention of creating a track that can trigger positive and hopeful daydreaming. To me, it kind of feels like a guided meditation with the solo lead starting halfway through the song, taking you on a blissful trip
