Hot on the heels of his well-received debut EP, Great Ideas, newcomer Aotoa drops a similarly impressive first full length. The genius of his debut style is its’ unfussy simplicity; really, it’s little more than a blend of downtempo electronica and UK bass influences (think dubstep, two-step garage and trap), but it really hits the spot. It’s a formula that allows him to go in different directions whilst retaining an attractive air of intergalactic exploration. There are some neat musical touches throughout – see the twinkling pianos and dubbed-out vocal samples of “CIO”, the spiraling synths of “Take Forever” and blazed hip-hop influences of “Alone Now” – and there’s enough big dancefloor moments (see the rave-inspired “Come On People”, in particular) to appease those looking for bangers.
