A beautiful lily blossoms. At least this was the case when Bokoya and FloFilz entered Atelier 21 in Aachen (a Produzentengalerie für globale Kunst) for a musical encounter with no goals set. The music that was born out of these sessions is simply amazing and we are more than happy to release them as an album under the name \"Yurika\" - which is a Japanese name that means \"beautiful lily\".\n\nThe artwork was created by Jens Roth \u0026amp; Jeremias Diekmann who are responsible for almost all Bokoya artworks yet. The 19-track strong instrumental album includes one vocal track featuring Japanese singer Kan Sano.\n\nFloFilz is one of Europe's most acclaimed Jazzbeat-producers with four albums on MPM under his belt. His last album \"Close Distance\" came out in 2022 an featured artists Alfa Mist, Blue Lab Beats, Jerome Thomas and Summers Sons. FloFilz is a classical trained musician who not only plays the TR 404 but also violin.\n\nBokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play improvised beat music. You can call it jazz if you like (all four members are graduated jazz musicians ) but be ready to stumble over some Dilla, Kraut Rock, Ambient or Dub in the mix. In 2022 Bokoya released their second album Hausensession on MPM , followed by a collabo album with Cologne-based producer Ginanni Brezzo (Jakarta Records) called \"Minari\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melting Pot","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50395048083787,"sku":"2096900","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_78900ffd_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726453829"},{"product_id":"minari","title":"Minari","description":"\u003cp\u003eBokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play improvised beat music.

We recommend their their double-album \u003ci\u003eHausensession\u003c\/i\u003e (MPM, 2022) as a reference point. Gianni Brezzo's music is a bit easier to access but not less leftfield. Jazz is a major influence too but it goes way further. On his album \u003ci\u003eTutto Grosso\u003c\/i\u003e (Jakarta, 2022) Brezzo rides a sonic wave similar to Matthew Halsall, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair and BadBadNotGood. The recording sessions for \u003ci\u003eMinari\u003c\/i\u003e took place at the Gottesweg Studios in Cologne where Bokoya and Gianni Brezzo jammed for three days and nights based on some basic sketches and beats. The sessions were edited and arranged after by Bokoya and Brezzo but no overdubs added.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melting Pot","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50402055979339,"sku":"2029802","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki-3_976aab10_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726530236"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bokoya.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
