Emika: Melancholia Euphoria – 12-INCH SINGLE

This is the first release on Emika Records, the newly-founded label by the British producer, Emika, who lives in Berlin. These tracks are inspired by the dancefloor, but they are also a reaction to the feeling of a certain weariness with current electronic music. Melancholia Euphoria A” is a prime example of Emika’s understanding of electronic music existing between pop and the avant-garde, with wordless, euphoric singing, shimmering synth sounds, and handclaps. “Melancholia Euphoria B” features a bittersweet sentiment and two precise melodies that compete with each other as gaming synth sounds merge with a relentlessly galloping piano. Two tracks that convey opposing emotions: melancholy and euphoria.”
