YUKU

With her EP „LAZY, PRIMETIMEGABI puts the focus on her roots and presents her musical debut on YUKU in an unexpected way with halftime and doubletime beats that are underpinned by a journey through dreamy nature. Produced with machines, the sound of the L A Z Y EP is dominated by bass-heavy kicks, authentic percussions with drive and a laid back coolness. In keeping with her way of not taking herself too seriously, she plays with rhythms, breaks & melodies that dont lose any energy even though they are partly half-time. The energy is real - keep it simple.

As we started moving around dancefloors more often, taking in a fresh dose of energy and adapting some new viewpoints, we consider this release as a love letter to more club oriented sounds rather than focusing on tedious days-lasting sound design sessions. In usual TRAKA fashion, its a genre fusing gumbo of electronic music, taking inspiration from Breaks, Footwork, Dubstep and Garage among others veiled in obscure samples that paint a pretty murky and distorted picture of sounds that we enjoy. We are grateful for our collaborations on Wheeling with MUADEEP, and NNNN with COIDO. APTID is an acronym that should remain undisclosed, but is closely related to the everlasting needs of creatives chasing the goal. —TRAKA

"A teacher once told me: "Where your pen slips, where the lines run over the edges — that's where your soul starts painting. If you truly want to make art from the depths of who you are, you can't be rubbing things out." I realized he wasn't just talking about the pen or the art itself; instead, he meant the blockages society creates in our minds. Mobilya expresses exactly that for me. Why see sounds only from one angle, or tweak them to fit expectations and lose the fun of playing around like a child acting freely, without expectations or guidelines? Or why paint only from one side, or just work with paper, pen, or colours? Creating's a nonstop learning process and every slip just gets us closer to who we are. For me, that's the point when I start to feel free, lighter and more honest. The work comes more from within and is not focused on the output. During the process, I started collecting objects, recorded them, and built something out of the individual pieces for the artwork. What came out was a huge, free-hanging mobile which I had to balance out. For the tracks, I focused on materials like glass, metal, wood and so on, but interpreted them in my own way. With Mobilya, I stepped into a different world which is even more about exploration that can be experienced from all sides and all angles, and art that doesn't only have to be abstract but can be everything. Originally, I had planned to create something entirely different, but tunes can't be controlled, so I let them be and didn't rub parts of them out. What's important to me personally: I've grown with this project and it has changed my perspective on the symbiosis of art and sound, something I'll explore even more in my upcoming projects. Love, A."
