FKJ RELEASES NEW EP AND SHARES NEW VIDEO
Going deeper on the EP FKJ states, “It’s called Ylang, it’s the name of the place I stayed isolated for months in the jungle. It’s not a single; I want to present it a more like a conceptual one, like a film scoring of that time and place. Last year I spent about six months in a very remote tropical place where I setup a studio. There is almost no one there. No electricity. I was making music out of a generator that was running only by night. The most beautiful landscapes, mountains, beaches. It’s one of my favourite places in the world. When I made music there it felt kind of like a dream state”
