Description:

The long-awaited new release from Khotin, the solo project of Edmonton, Canada producer Dylan Khotin-Foote, who builds chill-out to dance music that crosses between ambient and new age based on retro-inspired synths. Mixing distorted synths, breakbeats, and piano sounds with lyrical samples, field recordings, and other abstract fragments, Khotin arrives at a more deliberate, free, and playful work, in which the warmth and familiarity of Khotin's dreamy style is combined with new ideas and frameworks, new sounds, and new sounds. meet with natural occurrences and modest revelations. Dylan Khotin-Foote, who has been performing under the alias Khotin for more than a decade, has been changing his impressionistic electronic project as his life moves along.The club-friendly grooves of 2014's Hello World catapulted him into the heart of Vancouver's underground dance scene, while also showcasing an approach like 2018's Beautiful You, a downtempo remedy for DJ fatigue. His melodic sensibilities and playful ear for atmosphere remain the rippling core of the project's fingerprints, and whether beat-driven or ambient, Khotin's tracks have a distinct swirl that is recognizable on first listen. After the release of his second LP, Finds You Well, in 2020, Khotin-Foote found himself in the slower atmosphere of his hometown of Edmonton. His pre-Pandemic pivot to softer productions and a break from DJing had led to an overall decline in bookings in Vancouver and clubs, but his self-identified introverted nature was fine with that. He then doubled down on his skills of tone, pace, and dynamism on his new songs, reaching a definitive full-length.Khotin has freed himself from the pressure of expectations and has combined and refined everything we know about his music: the warmth and familiarity of Khotin's dreamy style meets new ideas and frameworks, spontaneity and small revelations. meets natural occurrences and modest revelations.
