Boundless bass and techno fused with cutting-edge sound design meet on Native Outsider’s new album “Kōhai”. Name of the album can be translated to English as an imperative call to love. Following up on ideas of the previous album «Modern» released on Progressive Future, the author continues his journey through a low-end spectrum of frequencies, layering ruff drums with rich, mysterious textures.
The release was made in Kyiv during 2023. Mirroring the author’s cropped hair on the cover, the album symbolizes a certain external to internal renewal, shedding spiritual burdens, and the beginning of a new growth process. The reflection on his existence in the current time and place had the greatest influence on him, along with the struggle against the pervasive feeling of FOMO and a certain lack of freedom in his actions. He became aware of the irreversibility of global processes and their colossal inertia, which cannot be stopped.
His perception of Ukrainian electronic dance music and club culture also greatly influenced him. Instead of succumbing to fearful escapism, he spent his time experiencing his emotions exultantly—sincerely enjoying the music and movement, despite the existential abyss and almost inevitable demise in the foreseeable future.
