Himawari

This electronic duo (it seems like many electronic acts fall into the category of duo) forge elements of minimalist techno, tech-house and even modern dub into a winning combination. The sound ranges from the house stylings of “Caught in This Affair” and “Kensai Rising” to the electro and Yaz-inspired “State of Grace” featuring female vocalist Kristy Hawkshaw. They even throw in what sounds like a Scottish child reciting poetry over dance music. And if you really want to experience phat basslines, there is the closing track “Betek.” Definitely worth exploring.
