Akamady imprint owner Komodo has been one of the leading figures
developing the music scene in Jakarta, creating bridges with 'The Land of
The Rising Sun's' music heritage. Magic Hour is the evocative name of his
latest work for Cocktail d'Amore music. It takes us to a beach party from
sunset to sunrise, barefoot in the sand. The title track is an ode to balearic
and piano house ruling around long pads and dusty baselines. The
Backwoods proudly contributes to the package with a more straightforward
restyling. The melodic elements shrink melting in the rhythmical structure. The
feel is deep and comforting resulting in a psychedelic illusion. On the flip
Lizard Dance is a breakbeat referencing the UK leftfield scene of the 90's.
Mystical synth-lines develop through the track projecting the whole
composition toward the sky. Sand Dunes is a track for late night dance floors.
Here Komodo plays with a gloomy atmosphere and psychedelic
acid-tinged synth lines, the listener is suddenly projected into a crime scene.
