Your Excellence by kodiki

24 years old, the self-proclaimed 'clothed and courageous' kodiki definitely is one of the most promising artists to emerge from (not only) the Slovakian electronic scene in recent years. First and foremost, the jovial and ever-kinetic enigma is a producer, model, and performer known for his engaging stage presence that feels more like a performative adrenaline rush than a standard guy+laptop situation. After self-releasing a couple of singles, including '300dB' and the 'Muliebre' EP, he later doubled up with a well-received '600dB' EP, all while being busy playing prominent triple-A festivals as well as off-the-grid ratholes.
While live, kodiki's signature animated self-puppetry embodies the sound itself to the extent that it becomes an inseparable part of his real-time sonic narration. Highly recommended to catch him live with his highly anticipated debut album, which Gin&Platonic is now honored to present.

Right from the start, the airy longplay welcomes us with flappy open arms and pours over us with precise sound design and high-octane rhythms, leaving you with a grin from ear to ear. In Your Excellence, every beat dares to be both pristine and primal. Each one fabricates a pulse-pounding joyride through sun-faded ambience, perpetually veering from trancey euphoria into glitchy chaos and all the way back. It is sleek but always one slip away from getting messy – an intentional collision of composition that makes for an exhilarating listen as kodiki flexes some plot-twisting hard skills and masterfully builds and teases with the momentum of a surprise seismic catharsis.
Closely tightened with body movement, the album flows with an admitted spontaneity, as kodiki’s production is distinguished by a certain human touch that electronic music, with its often mechanical approach, frequently lacks. Your excellence, the tea is SERVED.
