Having already established themselves as separate artists over the years, German DJ and producer Sepalot and songwriter and poet Angela Aux now introduce their collaborative project Tikhet with their breezy debut single 'smoke rings'.
Capturing a wonderfully warm and woozy aesthetic for their initial offering, 'smoke rings' makes for an incredibly rich and shimmering introduction to their sound so far. With its sweeping hooks and laid-back production throughout, they are kicking things off with a wildly enjoyable opening number here.
Adding about the track, Seapalot says, “First there was always a drum groove or a skeletal beat sketch from me, then Angela played a bassline. While I enriched the production with sometimes confusingly arranged synth tracks, piano chords, scratches or string parts, Angela immersed himself in text fragments and played guitar.
"Perhaps that was the key to our remarkable production speed and the laid-back vibe that "mixtape suite" now conveys: The two of us hardly ever got in each other's way artistically and rarely had to look for compromises - simply because neither of us would have asked for them, because everything was allowed anyway."
