Akin – Ghost Orchid EP

Rating: 7/10

Akin’s sound has taken in influences from moving between the Midlands, Australia’s famous surf coast and his current base in Bristol. In his own words “Morphing landscapes are a constant theme of my work, ever changing by nature.” His music process mixes self-recorded instrumentation and field recordings and interprets these in the studio into his signature soundscapes.

The six tracks on his debut EP (including one collaboration with 3rdeye) continue label boss Renaat Vandepapeliere’s love of mellow, electronica and garage inspired sounds that saw him sign Synkro, Gacha and Bering Strait to his re-launched label.
