Emerging out of the jungle mists are the swirling sounds of Snad on the Tulum based imprint Kilometro4.5. The Berlin based artist has had prior releases on the likes of Kimochi Sound, Courtesy of Sound, Smallville and more through a variety of sounds. Our focus for today is of the ambient persuasion as label, and Snad state:

Kilòmetro 4.5 takes you into danceable ambient sounds through a dreamy album produced by Snad. Loop DreamZz is an ethereal representation of nostalgic soundscapes. It wraps you in a strange yet familiar sense of paradise at twilight, be it before dawn or post-sunset. Faint birdsong, gentle waves, and the bittersweet tiredness when you’re one of the last on the sandy dancefloor, yet perpetually craving to keep the dream looping.

“I originally wrote Loop DreamZz in Berlin after my first visit to Papaya Playa Project. Fast forward to 2021, and Km4.5 asked me if I would be interested in writing an ambient-ish album. I was doing an exercise in writing an album a month, so I was naturally into the idea. The resulting album was written with my machines in the dark of the night over a week and a half in Malvern, Pennsylvania. I drew influence from Jan Jelinek, Gigi Masin, Kimochi Sound, Meitei, my friends, and my lush suburban environment.” - Snad

Loop DreamZz and in turn Glimmer are coming out via Kilómetro 4.5 on July 22, 2022
