[Archpl021] Jin Choi
June 26th, 2010 - Pheek
Jin Choi returns to Archipel to release his second 12″ in Archipel’s vinyl series entitled “Dig Your Own Out”. Just as masterful as his first Archipel 12″, Jin’s second coming is surrounded by an aura of warmth and is highly jazz influenced providing the birthing ground for his fervently smokey textures.
“Lost And Found” initiates with warm rhythms and a gentle chord pulse which grows into a sunny melody whose beams set alight slowly drifting chains of saccharine smoke. “Hurtlocker” features sultry acoustic guitar and piano melodies at its core which are woven tightly and hypnotically into an expertly stitched dance of subtle textures which wind about each other into the small hours of the morning.
“Dig Your Own Out” continues on a similar path with a gentle piano melody which is rhythmically set just so in an atmosphere of early morning mist and streams of heady rhythmic waves which are constantly in subtle states of change while they bring with them in tow an ardent series of gently warped textures.
The release was recently reviewed on UK’s The Guardian as Single of the Week.
About Jin Choi
Jin Choi is a musician, producer and live artist based in Cologne, Germany. In his music he equally focuses on groove and melodic structures, which are based on Techno, Minimal and Dub House. The sound fuses electronic and naturalistic sounds, which are twisted, bended and whirled for an always bubbling and breathing rhythmic experience. Functionality does not necessarily stand in the spotlight in his tracks – his music is supposed to touch emotionally and to move the head and the body as well.
