Leon Vynehall - 'Rojus'

8/10

Following on from his 2014 debut 'Music For The Uninvited', producer Leon Vynehall returns with his latest studio full-length to deliver another batch of lo-fi beats and laid-back vibes. And with 'Rojus' being the Lithuanian word for "paradise", it seems that he has made a deliberate attempt in creating such a rich and inviting new release.

Opening up with bird song and an atmospheric soundscape sets the exotic tone of this release, before bringing in the percussion and basslines that ultimately form the Vynehall sound. It has this non-evasive quality that allows it to really get under your skin and bring you closer to all the sounds within the music. Almost minimal in its production, 'Rojus' has this serene beauty to it that most producers are too forceful to allow to be heard.

Vynehall is of course a huge name in the UK electronic scene and with this new repertoire of beats, all cloaked under a tropical concept, there is no doubt that this latest material will serve his performances well. Masterfully arranged and cohesive throughout.
