Madloch’s Sound Avenue imprint opens the summer season by showcasing new interpretations of Beije’s ‘Azimuth’. Originally released in March of 2020 as part of the label’s popular ‘Correlation’ series, it found the Toronto duo crafting a deep, enchanting slice of house that found favour with a cross section of tastemaker DJs. Progressively more prolific since first appearing in 2019, Beije has already landed key releases with 3rd Avenue, Good News Records, Manual Deep and Harabe. Looking to breathe new life into ‘Azimuth’ as the world slowly opens back up, Sound Avenue invites GMJ, Mark Slee and Emotional Tourist to reimagine the track.
Rounding out the release and providing the third and final interpretation of ‘Azimuth’ is Emotional Tourist who also makes his label debut. Hailing from Romania, Emotional Tourist was a project born out of hopes and dreams; a vision of creating dreamy sounds and impassioned melodies. Although less than two years into his production career, the Bucharest resident has already compiled a short but meticulous discography, highlighted by releases on Akbal Music, Kindisch and Shanti Radio Moscow. Now coming off three projects for When We Dip’s XYZ imprint, Emotional Tourist debuts on Sound Avenue with a sleek interpretation of ‘Azimuth’. Beginning with organic beats and dusty percussion, it’s the meditative nature of the groove which becomes instantly compelling. Pulsating and full of great character, it anchors what is a dubby yet musical slice of organic house. Murky harmonics marry clustered keys across an eight-minute storyboard and enlightening break, for what results in a compelling hypnotic journey. A lovely interpretation from Emotional Tourist, which rounds out a welcome remix edition for Beije’s ’Azimuth’.
You can now listen to the full premiere of Emotional Tourist’s remix exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
