The debut album from Peruvian producer and DJ Sofia Kourtesis is a collection of detailed, carefully assembled, intricately textured house music. It’s an emotional album and its themes — love, life, mortality — are the big ones. The tinkling, glittering “Vajkoczy” is named after the neurosurgeon who performed life-saving surgery on Kourtesis’ mother after a last-ditch attempt by Kourtesis on social media to reach one of the few specialists who could do the procedure. It’s delicately euphoric which is the mood for much of the rest of the tracks. They’re built of layers of looping and swirling percussion, gently undulating pads, synthetic brass, digital keys and chimes, her sonic vocabulary largely avoiding the outre and the extreme, preferring a softly psychedelic, colourful approach, which with her own drifty vocals, can deliver a tender and distinctive dance floor rapture.
