Emapea - Zoning Out Vol. 1-2 '2018-2019

Tracks list

Emapea, the renowned beat-maker from Poland, burst upon the scene with multiple
compilation appearances on Cold Busted, an inclusion on Mark Farina's Mushroom
Jazz 8, and his stunning debut album Seeds, Roots & Fruits. Fans and headz
worldwide have been clamoring for a follow-up, but all Emapea wanted to do was
just 'zone out.' And that's what happened, with the release of Emapea's twenty
song album Zoning Out, Volume 1. Emapea's cuts are meant for the listener to get
lost in – but they're not only for chilling, or when deep in thought, but
also for getting in that crucial head-nod zone, like when the DJ drops the
dopest beat. Expertly crafted and sequenced, the album presents a boom-bap
journey that's dreamy and spacey while remaining tough and jazzy. "Check It Out"
exemplifies the mood with its smooth drums, chiming keys, subtle sax riffs, and
hip hop shout-outs. The vibe expands on "Motion", adding an exotic, worldly
flavor to the seductively loping rhythm. And "Classy" features a smokey saloon
piano melody that cruises smugly out of jeep-beat speakers. This track was
recently featured on a limited postcard record, mailed surreptitiously to lucky
Emapea supporters. Zoning Out, Volume 1 defines Emapea as an artist to watch on
the international beat scene. Pay attention as Volume 2 will be continuing the
journey in later months

Zoning Out Vol. 2

With his acclaimed debut album Seeds, Roots & Fruits, an inclusion on Mark
Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 8, and notable Cold Busted compilation
appearances, the Polish beat-master Emapea has been a producer to watch. Early
in 2018 he unveiled Zoning Out, Volume 1, an album intended for chilling while
deep in thought, or for getting into that crucial head-nod zone, like when the
DJ drops the dopest beat. With listeners ready for more rhythmic brain-food,
Emapea provides with the anticipated next installment: Zoning Out, Volume 2.
Developing the theme of Volume 1, Emapea takes his jazzy sensibilities and fresh
drum patterns and ups the ante, delivering 18 mandatory cuts that swerve and
shimmy while exhibiting pure dopeness. Take “Last Cypher,” which is
an infectious funk-hip-hop hybrid that flows with more than a few surprise
embellishments. There’s also the low-rider spy-hop of “Big Small
Talks”; “Tantra” with its smooth, old school ride; the sensual
boom bap of “Blue Almonds”; and the infectious, latin-lounge-tinged
“Rainy Day”. These are no-nonsense beat compositions, perfect for
thinking, for grooving, for dreaming, for zoning out. Emapea and Cold Busted
come correct once again.
