Two distinct forces in the Argentine electronic scene, EKIS EKIS and Juan Arce, have united for a powerful new release on the imprint South America Avenue. Titled “Xplosion,” this collaborative EP is currently available for pre-order and will officially drop on February 16th.
A Powerful Fusion of Sound
The label, South America Avenue, describes this union perfectly: “South America Avenue presents Ekis Ekis & Juan Arce with their EP ‘Xplosion,’ a powerful release full of character… Energy, atmosphere, and attitude in a premiere that leaves a mark within the label.”
Both tracks on the EP are defined by powerful basslines, modern synthesizers, and creative sound modulations that showcase the technical experience of both producers.
“Xplosion”: Music as a Potion
The title track, “Xplosion,” is particularly special for EKIS EKIS as it continues his journey of incorporating original vocals into his productions. The lyrics carry a profound meaning for the artist, touching on the healing nature of creativity. Key phrases like “Our power is our potion” and “Our power is our fusion” drive the track forward.
“The phrase refers to how an artist uses music to feel better. It is their power and their potion; the power to make music and the global energy it brings acts as a remedy for the not-so-good moments of day-to-day life.” — EKIS EKIS
Regarding his vocal contribution, the artist adds, “I am happy to bring another song with vocals of my own authorship,” marking a personal evolution in his sound.
“Yakuza”: Darker Atmospheres
The second track, “Yakuza,” shifts the mood towards a darker, more oriental aesthetic. It maintains the dynamic rhythm and intense pressure of the EP but wraps it in mysterious atmospheres.
Like the title track, “Yakuza” also features vocal contributions from EKIS EKIS. The haunting key phrase, “Close your eyes and dream,” floats over the instrumentation, guiding the listener through the track’s intricate sonic landscape.
Global Support & Availability
These two experienced producers have delivered an unmissable release that is already garnering support and thumbs-up from artists around the world.
The “Xplosion” EP is available for pre-order on Beatport now.
