Inventive 21 year old multi-instrumentalist and producer, Ukiyo returns with a bubbling new single Clicky, an eccentric instrumental track that percolates with intricate percussion. Clicky is the latest taste of Ukiyo’s brand new EP entitled Fantasy, a heady collection of distinctive production moments, featuring instrumental tracks and exceptional collaborations with vocalists Chymes and Feelds, which was released on August 1.
Fantasy has been a long time coming for Ukiyo, who is all about the journey that comes with songs that are supposed to be listened to together. The EP demonstrates the producer’s versatility in every sense of the word, and his true understanding of layering melodic, harmonic, and percussive information in a way that is completely unique and often quite meditative. Reflecting on the collection of songs that makes up Fantasy, Ukiyo says, “This EP and the Ukiyo project in general are both all about escapism. It’s why I started making music in the first place after all. I’ll never stop being amazed by the ability soundtracks have to take listeners to another world and it’s my goal to create music that does that. My EP is called Fantasy because that’s exactly what it is to me, when I close my eyes this is the music I hear.”
