"Erased Dreams" by Yotto

I know Yotto (the nom de musique of Otto Yliperttula), previously here, as a DJ and creator of electronic dance music so I am delighted to discover his brand new release of downtempo and ambient tracks called "Erased Dreams." The entire collection is stellar but the first few tracks really set the tone. "Lone Machine" is a gorgeous almost-drone, blending beautifully with "Seat 11" which is an expansive/pensive movement. "Sunburn" is another highlight among these lovely eight tracks. Listen to the whole release below.

Yotto's record label says:
"Throughout his sparkling career, which includes a Billboard #1 LP and official remixes for artists like Joris Voorn, Gorillaz, and Coldplay, Yotto has produced ambient tracks to help him look inward and recharge his creative battery. But when COVID hit, his inner world took over. 'At first, I was being really productive with club music,' Yotto says, speaking from his home in Helsinki. 'But then after a while, I started making something completely opposite.' Yotto found himself exploring a different form of expression, and didn’t have a plan other than to create. But when he put the tracks side-by-side in a playlist he recognized a synergy, and the outline of the project began to take shape."

The result is more of a continuous soundscape than an album; an ethereal and dreamy experience designed to accompany the listener as they turn inward and drift away. If club music is a form of escape, then this is too – but instead of turning outward, we lose ourselves inward."
