Reii – Hiss Me + The Places EP
There is 23 minutes of blissful Reii works – the usual detailed ambient passages and melodic interludes, the excellent production that has created Reii a loyal following from his preview Kahvi releases.
Check out ‘Hello Machines’ for some retro Future Sound of London style, but favourite tracks for this listener would be Sanctuary (epic pads!) and When you fall asleep part 1 and 2. Enjoy this ambient masterpiece from Reii!

Reii – Ghostly Sea EP [Lost Language]
In 2009 we received and released the amazing ‘Shocks’ track as his debut. 2 years later we are pleased to follow up on Lost Language with his Ghostly Sea EP.
The Ghostly Sea track again trends a more ambient and downtempo territory… floaty pads and moody breakbeats. Reason to Exist carries on the moody space journey with some top liquid-trance production.
To round things off Echolon is a more uptempo operation but one for those early sets and warm-up gigs. Melodic arpegios are the order of the day here.

Reii – Hoola Hoop EP [Spring Tube]
If you remember big rave open-airs about 10 years ago, if you ever have been a part of them, then no doubt you will measure these oldschoolish dark and atmospheric sounds.

Reii – Shocks EP [Lost Language]
The vogue for breakbeat prog that finally fizzled in 2004 has lain dormant too long. “Shocks” celestially chilled soundscape probably doesn’t signal a return as such, but it does remind you of how good the musical enclave was.

Reii – Drafts EP [Kahvi Collective]
Subtle moods and blending sounds throughout this delight in the shape of a 8 track ep, gives Reii some space to play with long drawn out passages of colour and texture. While away the hours, the tracks fading into each other, you don’t even notice when the end is reached and the beginning has started. Listen and dream.

Reii – We Fade Away EP [Kahvi Collective]
A subtle, intricate & meandering set of four tracks that re-explore brooding IDM circa early Autechre & Boards of Canada without being derivative or forgettable.
