Get Lost In Mystic State’s Chilling Soundscapes With New EP, “Yozakura”

Mystic State continue to push the boundaries of bass music in their new EP, Yozakura.

In the four-track EP, the Bristol-based production duo curate a stunning exploration of sound while staying true to their authentic style. The release arrives via Chord Marauders, an imprint they say has “helped inspire and shape [their] sound than perhaps any other record label out there.”

They begin with “Xoyo,” where haunting melodies immerse us in Mystic State’s spine-chilling universe. The illusory track, which Mystic State called one of their favorite pieces of music they’ve ever produced, evokes the feeling of exploring uncharted territory in our dreams. Entering into “Yozakura,” a sense of tranquility and curiosity overwhelms the senses as expertly-woven layers of synths and percussive elements throb with palpable depth.

“The Perfection” immediately captures our attention with punchy drums and an enthralling beat. Its vocal sample tugs at the heartstrings before giving way to a poignant breakdown, showcasing the duo’s uncanny ability to bottle nostalgia in their soundscapes.

Distorted voices and the sounds of human commotion usher in the EP’s final song, “What We Have.” The track’s deep basslines build to a soothing voice that monologues themes of togetherness and gratitude. Mystic State then hit us with a clean breakdown of rich percussion, weaving a narrative of thankfulness and shared emotion.

“This is our Yozakura EP, which we believe to be a true reflection of where our sound is at currently,” the duo wrote on Instagram. “Hopefully there’s something on this EP for every one of you.”
