The latest release from Nikko.Z's Dopamine White welcomes TOKUMORI to the label for his debut EP. Hailing from Peru, TOKUMORI has been producing electronic music for well over a decade. With a sound that ranges from deep hypnotic house to melodic house and techno, the Lima resident always seems to find a nice balance of groove and emotion throughout his creations. It's a sound that has taken him to releases via Another Life Music, Balkan Connection South America, Deepwibe Digital and more. Continuing to emerge as one of his country's most promising producers, TOKUMORI now debuts on Dopamine White with an artist showcase entitled ‘Starry Sky'.

Composed of four distinctive and equally compelling creations, it is the spacious grooves and shimmering lines of ‘Starry Sky' which set the tone for the EP. Instantly seductive, its fluttery melodies and cosmic effects create a colourful canopy for punchy beats and wobbly grooves to deliver an enticing narrative. A well-crafted break sits at the heart of the journey, flowing through effervescent modulation and hopeful harmonies, before uniting for an exhilarating drop and warm key changing finale. Selection two ‘Etero' finds Gaston composing with a strong sense of rhythm and groove. Warm rolling basslines set the course for wavering atmospheres and playful chord stabs to elevate mood across act one. The Lima resident flexes his free-thinking muscles across a memorable break, as melodies open and hypnotizing effects take centrestage, eventually transferring energy into a smooth, free-flowing conclusion.

Continuing on a hopeful monochrome with ‘Magic Night', TOKUMORI diversifies his portfolio with a production that is equal parts groovy and emotional. The Peruvian artist allows the listener to relish in the groove, as flickering percussive arrangements, balmy sweeps and pixie-like harmonics provide a mesmerizing bridge into a therapeutic break and meditative finale. The release's final selection ‘The Path' brings a touch of nostalgia through classic key change combinations and a straightforward groove which pulsates to great effect. Poignant and enduring, it caps off an excellent Dopamine White debut for TOKUMORI, an artist who continues to impress as he rises out of Peru's electronic underground.
