With a soaring, emotionally-charged sonic signature all his own, Sam Goku returns to Dekmantel for his latest four-track EP, Bliss Drift.
As Sam Goku, over the past few years Robin Wang has edged into the beating heart of the contemporary house and techno scene with a rejuvenating sound that reaches from peak time maximalism to immersive introspection. Across a run of acclaimed albums and EPs — including 2024's Radiants on Dekmantel — he's balanced the heavyweight impact of his rhythms with mesmerising melodies and swirling atmospheres. It's precisely this blend he brings to Bliss Drift, writing and recording from the heart and accurately capturing what he describes as a sense of blossoming — "a renaissance into something new yet familiar."
Make no mistake, this is music to make you move. 'Rhythm Drift' and 'Bliss Drift' lead on rock-solid rhythms as springboards for Goku's ascendant tones. Airy, mysterious pads and sampled choral voices meet with glistening chimes that soften the tough edges of the drums — a quintessential demonstration of how to make a tender banger. 'Warm Soils' strikes a deeper, more meditative note enriched with haunting flutes and a heads-down roll to the percussion, while 'Infinity Keys (Sina's Song)' lets rich layers of melodic sequencing dictate the pace in a poised demonstration of techno composition at its most expressive.
Catching the mood as the Northern Hemisphere heads out of the winter months, Goku's unique energy hails a return to the light via four distinct twists on the house and techno tradition.

『高揚感に満ちた、感情豊かな独自のサウンドを武器に、サム・ゴクが最新4曲入りEP『Bliss Drift』を携え、Dekmantelに帰ってきた。 サム・ゴクとして、ロビン・ワンはここ数年、ピークタイムのマキシマリズムから没入感のある内省的な世界までを網羅する、活力を与えるサウンドで、現代のハウスおよびテクノシーンの中心へと着実にその存在感を広げてきた。 2024年にDekmantelからリリースされた『Radiants』を含む、数々の高評価を得たアルバムやEPを通じて、彼は重厚なリズムのインパクトと、魅惑的なメロディー、渦巻くような雰囲気を絶妙に調和させてきた。まさにこの融合を『Bliss Drift』にも持ち込み、心のままに作曲・録音を行い、彼が「新しくもどこか懐かしいものへのルネサンス」と表現する「開花」の感覚を的確に捉えている。 間違いなく、これは体を動かしたくなる音楽だ。『Rhythm Drift』と『Bliss Drift』は、Gokuの昇華するトーンの跳躍台となる、揺るぎないリズムで幕を開ける。軽やかで神秘的なパッドとサンプリングされたコーラスの声が、ドラムの鋭いエッジを和らげるきらめくチャイムと融合する——これは、いかにして優しいバングラーを作り上げるかを示す典型的な例だ。 『Warm Soils』は、心に残るフルートの音色と、没頭させるようなパーカッションのロールによって深みと瞑想的な雰囲気を醸し出し、一方『Infinity Keys (Sina's Song)』は、豊かなメロディック・シーケンスの層がペースを支配し、テクノ・コンポジションの表現力を極限まで引き出した見事な一曲となっている。 北半球が冬の時期を抜け出すこの季節のムードを捉え、Gokuの独特なエネルギーは、ハウスとテクノの伝統に4つの独自のひねりを加えることで、光への回帰を告げている。 (インフォメーションより)』
