EKIS EKIS returns with a significant and deeply personal new release, “One Soul Tonight.”
Finding a perfect home on the French label, Cho-ku-reï.
This release marks a new milestone for the artist, as it’s the second track to prominently feature his own voice, offering listeners a more intimate and human connection to his work.
The Sound: An Analog, Atmospheric Journey
At its core, “One Soul Tonight” is a masterfully crafted 110bpm organic house track. The composition is defined by its deeply atmospheric sounds, which were meticulously shaped and modulated using analog pedals. This technique moves beyond digital perfection, giving the music a tangible, human, and slightly unpredictable warmth.
The track builds gracefully, weaving intricate melodies with ethereal pads. The entire soundscape is designed to evoke a specific sensation: “floating in the clouds.”
The Concept: A Soul’s Portal
The artist’s vocals—which include soft ad-libs, delicate sighs, and whispers—serve as the guide into the song’s narrative. They set the stage for the key lyrics:
“Everywhere there for journey, Everywhere there the dash”
This builds to the song’s central, recurring phrase:
“Already here is there, I still roam”
EKIS EKIS uses this powerful line to explore the concept of portals and simultaneous existence—the idea that “here” can also be “there” at the exact same time.
The song’s central story is a mystical one. It represents the journey of a soul (energy) that, in this single night, traverses a portal to another world. The instrumentation was intentionally crafted to paint this exact picture: the feeling of flying through the clouds as an ethereal, weightless being.
A “Six Faced World”: The Full Release
“One Soul Tonight” does not travel alone. It is accompanied by a second track, “Six Faced World,” which conceptually reinforces this story of a voyage to another realm.
As is customary for EKIS EKIS, this EP delivers more than just music; it offers intricate meanings and a symbolic representation of his ideas. By adding his own voice to the rich tapestry of analog-modulated sound, the artist has forged an even closer bond with his audience, inviting them not just to listen, but to feel.
This complete musical One Soul Tonight and artistic work is now available to stream on all major platforms.
