The Mixtapers land on the newborn Angis Music - founded by Samuele Pagliai - with a warm-sounding and futuristic EP which stems from jam session recordings in which acoustic instruments interact with electronic ones. The path begins with the title track Sun Metaphors, driven by an enveloping bassline which leads us to exotic and surreal landscapes, dominated by a vibrating groove. The glorious vocals of the singer ALO sound like a tribute to the Sun and more generally to warm, bright energies, like a Gospel choir. The same spirituality resonates in Trinity, a cosmic funk trip with flute and keytar interludes. Side A serves also Smokey Reflection which is pure sensuality in its most deep form while Stay (Away From Me) is the epilogue of a fervent journey, where the sounds of drum machine and congas recall the atmosphere of bossa nova, also because of the presence of Sara Lima's voice.

Sunstroke... My favourite Kaidi track ever... I've never been so drawn into a song... by the end it feels more like a life experience than a piece of music. Thanks for the vinyl release cant wait to stick it on. I didn't even bother to look at the other tracks when buying. Alejandro Lopez
