I’m totally obsessed with this 3-EP offering from Germany-based artist Sam Goku – released on the ever-excellent Permanent Vacation label. Across 12 tracks these Explorations span lo-fi house sounds, ambient drifters and low-key techno bangers. Throughout, and I think this is the the real achievement of the series, everything feels imbued with soul and emotion – not an easy feat given the almost complete lack of vocal samples. Put it all together and you have 12 tracks that feel as natural in your headphones in your home, as they do heating up a smoke-filled dancefloor in an opening set.
