Music News - Sanoi Releases 'Echoes of Home'
03 November 2023 - 0 Comments
Loop are proud to present Echoes Of Home, the eagerly-anticipated new album from one of NZ’s fastest-rising electronic producers, Sanoi. Drawing inspiration from his homeland Germany, with a particular focus on the organic house and techno scene of Berlin, Sanoi has meticulously crafted Echoes Of Home to reflect his diverse influences.
Echoes Of Home finds Sanoi challenging conventional music production norms, steering clear of familiar tropes and techniques. The result is eight carefully curated tracks with a rich tapestry of ambient layers, recorded sounds, and melodies that range from quirky and playful to nostalgic and melancholic. The finely crafted drums take centre stage, emphasising the unique groove that defines Sanoi's distinctive sound.
The album traverses warm, bouncy & melodic house music, with touches of deep-house, techno & organica. While largely instrumental, the album’s centrepiece is a collaboration with Christchurch artist Beacon Bloom on the track Silver. Both artists previously collaborated on the popular single Club Jesus, once again featuring Ryan Ferris' delicate yet strong vocals. The final track on the album, Moon Boy offers a few moments of quiet as the journey draws to an end with just Sanoi & his piano.
Created at his home in Auckland, and road-tested across multiple live performances across NZ & Australia over the past two years, Echoes Of Home sees Sanoi’s composition & production step up another level. Available on limited edition vinyl, the digital release also includes an eclectic collection of four remixes from acclaimed New Zealand artists micronism & Paige Julia, alongside German producers Gabriel Ananda & Fabian Krooss.
The album will arrive alongside a range of bespoke visual content created by Sanoi alongside innovative local technology company Disguise. Utilised all over the world, Disguise are a visual company who create content for the likes of U2, The Rolling Stones, Beyoncé, Pink! and Ed Sheeran, plus for live events including Coachella and Formula 1. Sanoi & Disguise have been working for over a year on a visual accompaniment for each track on the album, which will be released alongside the album itself, showcasing two New Zealand artists who are leaders in their fields.
Over the past five years, Sanoi has become an integral part of the growing underground house and techno scene in New Zealand, all the while expanding his international presence with releases on labels Bar 25, Stil Vor Talent, Magician On Duty, and Zehn Records. Sanoi's music has already gained support from student radio stations in New Zealand and has caught the attention of tastemaker DJs worldwide.
