Songs are tickets to another world. Especially when Sepalot and Angela Aux take over the tour guide. "Smoke Rings" is exemplary of the project's DNA: a sluggish drum groove meets a rolling bassline and then the track takes off with a paradoxically catchy Woodstock hook: "Take me on a trip upon the smoke rings of your mind". Dreamy echoes from the 90s reverberate through your consciousness: Gorillaz, Beck and Madlib, perhaps Kruder & Dorfmeister and Chemical Brothers. The flute is played by a third travelling man: legend Wolfi Schlick (ex-Poets of Rhythm, Embryo). TIKHET is an obvious name for these short, voluptuous trips. The excursions by producer Sepalot (ex-Blumentopf) and songwriter Angela Aux (Aloa Input) are based on psychedelic grooves. From there, they drift through genres and decades: Nu jazz, folk, krautrock and as expected with a great sense of atmosphere and collage. The upcoming album "Mixtape Suite" contains ten musical tickets whose effect can last for hours and days. For pleasant side effects, read the artist info and head to your favourite DJs and record shops.
