Release Notes:
Sometimes, producing an album is a process that happens in
waves. The ideas come and go. Some get realized instantly,
others need time or pondering to inspire new ideas and some
just disappear slowly but surely from oneÆs mind. For his
second album Joakim IjΣs, better known as Kiki, has fully
gotten himself into these waves that form a creative process:
phases in which everything seems clear - but also moments when
things appear stuck and one remains uncertain about what step
to take next to make a vision come to life. ôWhen I worked on
the album there were situations when I had a very clear
picture of what I wanted without knowing for sure how to
realize it, so I had to take a short break. Each time this
happened I found a solution after a few days that would solve
my dilemma. It was as if I had shouted a question into a world
within my mind and what came back was my echo with the
answerö, remembers Kiki. Hence it is no big surprise that Kiki
titled his album ôKaikuö - the Finnish term for ôechoö. While
all artists who contributed to ôKaikuö stepped into KikiÆs
life in very unforeseen fashions and ways, ôKaikuö speaks of a
maturing process that moved away some of the focus from club
compatibility towards a more subtle and personal mood - and
memories of last weekend seem to resonate like a gentle echo.
Jacking old school tracks like ôGood Voodooö or floating
anthems like ôStarsliderö stand right next to Downbeat
variations such as ôNo Words Necessaryö and typical dancefloor
bombs like the opening track ôAutumn Leavesö or ôMogadishuö,
making ôKaikuö by far the most mature and timeless thing ever
to come from Kiki.
