PREMIERE: Irina Kotik - Mira [Melifera Records]

What’s more satisfying than seeing someone close grow as an artist? Little that we can think of, the musical story is different for us all, with many twists and turns, ups and downs, but turn, the pages must. Over the years we’ve seen one of our founders, Irina Kotik grow and grow, building on her musical identity and creating new avenues of musical expression. As one half of Moon Patrol through to her mixes released on HOC radio, MFIS, Crescent London, and Cellar Door to name a few, her impact is steadily growing. It’s with so much pride that we’re happy to premiere her first solo offering on Melifera Records, Mira.

Like a structure being built block by block, Mira starts off simply with percussive elements and haunting pads, laying the foundation for a soaring crescendo as the track builds and builds. The melody echoed and solidified throughout, giving that all encompassing melancholic feel that we know and love.

Mira, is part of a series of releases titled Women Everyday, a passionate celebration of women's talent, everyday. Volume 2 will be out on March 8th, with additional music from Elisa Batti, Slow Dimension, Vice City, and Kato De Vidts.
