Copenhagen’s Echocord returns with a long-player from Mathimidori this October, entitled the ‘Akebono’ LP and comprised of ten original compositions. Mathimidori, better known by most as Mathias Kaden has been using this alias as a way to showcase his take on dub-leaning, minimalistic and refined Techno via labels such as Dorian Paic’s Raum Musik, Tokyo’s Mule Musiq, and Berlin’s Ornaments. Here though we see deliver his debut long-player under the guise, and fittingly the LP will be released via esteemed Dub Techno imprint Echocord, home to releases from the likes of STL, Deepchord, Fluxion, XDB, and Forest Drive West. Across the ‘Akebono’ album Mathimidori delivers hazy, spaced-out instrumentals like ‘Maiia’, ‘Ork’ and ‘Soso’ while tracks like ‘Asaka’ and ‘Shao’ offer a darker approach. The project also welcomes an assortment of collaborations such as opening track ‘Java’ alongside Spain’s Pulshar, ‘Kioku’ featuring Japanese artist Tomomi Ukumori and ‘Kobe’ with Germany’s Rhayader which all lean towards downtempo dub territories. Also featured are Sakura who provides spoken-word vocals for ‘Akebono’ and Shoco who joins Mathimidori for the ambient learning album conclusion ‘Akari’.
