KaNa-Episode 12 [Snow Freques]

 

 

There is much beauty in the world as there is darkness. Music has the undeniable power of expressing loads of emotions which could come from either a dark place or a light one depending on the occasion. Dance music producers have the ability to convey a plethora of moods into their music according to their current state of mind, recent or past experiences. A dance music artist that has left a profound mark in the scene, as she ascends each year via her productions and DJ skills  is "KaNa" from the modern, yet in many ways traditional, faraway land of Japan. Her latest offering to the scene is the "Episode 12" E.P, released on her own label "Snow Freques". Each release comes to us with a beautiful, unique artwork set in the Japanese manga style, crafted and designed by Kana Ijuin herself. This release contains two special tracks that will definitely move you beyond words!

"PKG": A playful percussion sets things off in the right mood, as an aura of tranquil melodies comes settling in. The turbulent bassline comes marching in, bringing with it a delightful medley of melodies, much like the eloquent dance of falling leaves on a crisp Autumn day. Harmonious moments arise, all the while decorated by sounds of nature and the faraway calls of birds of the wild. Delicate melodic tones appear in the break like a gust of unpredictable wind, enhancing and spreading the feeling of serenity furthermore alongside the rest of the key elements. After the break the track resumes its course while its beauty unfolds instilling moments of peace and grandeur within us all.

"Translucence": Booming basslines synced accordingly with the appropriate percussion start the game off in a positive manner. Meticulous, joyful melodies doused with effects and buzzing semi-distorted synths shake things up as if arousing the populous from one's daily slumber. The tune contains an inner innocence displayed beautifully through the intricate, luscious melodies while struggling with its tendency for mischief tucked in snugly in the buzzing synth motions described above. The joy, innocence and tranquility return in all their glory within the break while the rushing of a cooling stream can be heard from afar. The might and energy make their imminent escape through the build of the track, spreading joy and sunshine via the upbeat leads and mesmerizing melodies. 

A marvelous package of tunes for every occasion! Another wonderful and innovating release by the one and only "KaNa"! Seek it out and achieve inner harmony!
