Ajukaja

Estonian pioneer Raul Saaremets exists in many parallel musical universes and this is reflected in his stellar output as Ajukaja, mining a rich furrow of stand out, oddball yet eminently danceable, groovy house and beat experiments. "Mhmhmh" is a vibey late night burner which quite obviously gets its title from the faintly Germanic, sleazy vocal sample which goes "um hum um hum". "Sklad" trips you out even more with a mangled, ecstasy tinged fading in(tro) which gives you "that" feeling. Ajukaja puts his disco hat on for B-side with "Ekleeer"; a danceable disco cut rolls out until the vocals drop in and you realise that David Lynch is on the remix. "Walk" previously saw light as a tape-only track but its playful scuffed up jiggery pokery cried out for a vinyl release, so here it is.
