Yotto is one of the newer artists to blossom on the Anjunadeep imprint signing his first Memento/Azzurro EP back in 2015, but that nonetheless shouldn't diminish his importance. In a little over a year on the label, the Finnish producer has put out genre bending explorations of singles and remixes from the likes of Rüfüs' "Like An Animal" to one of our faves Lane 8 to his intricately constructed originals like the recently successful "The Owls" which earned Essential New Tune honors from Pete Tong and Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World.
Thus brings me to "Cooper's Cup." I really enjoyed "The Owls," but missed our 7 day time period with which we like to post new records. I saw that "The Owls" was coming as a 3 part series entitled 'Twin Peaks' and I wanted to feature today the second installment. "Cooper's Cup" is a flourishing cascade of sound that builds from a rumbling bass line into a plucky xylophone like melody that is as fulfilling as it is entrancing. The record pushes forward with bursting 80's style basses that remind me of the soundtrack for Netflix's new series "Stranger Things." Yotto is here to stay and is someone you should definitely familiarize yourself with. You can purchase "Cooper's Cup" on Beatport here.
