The rise of downtempo and organic house has brought a wave of boundary-pushing artists like Acid Pauli, Nicola Cruz, and Sabo to the forefront of electronic music, reshaping dancefloors and playlists alike. Adding their names to this esteemed lineup, Ben & Vincent unveil their latest creation, Zoa EP—an eight-track odyssey of cinematic grandeur, organic textures, and forward-thinking production. Released on Wayu Records, the EP draws inspiration from William Blake’s mythical Zoas, exploring the depths of reason, passion, instinct, and creativity through both original tracks and transformative remixes.
The journey begins with Emily’s Prelude, a breathtaking collaboration with composer Will Hyde, known for his orchestral work with Disney and Hans Zimmer. This cinematic opener sets the stage with symphonic elegance and subtle electronic undertones. The title track, Zoa, follows with raw, untamed energy, driven by jungle-inspired rhythms and pulsating passion. makeke’s remix elevates this primal essence, transforming it into a hypnotic club anthem.
With Rintrah, Ben & Vincent team up with Magupi to weave a mystical narrative, blending organic soundscapes and haunting melodies. Ohxala’s remix takes this deeper, reimagining the track as a meditative exploration of ambient and tribal textures. The EP’s finale, Flying Circus, brings playful sophistication to the table, with Akira Arasawa and Timboletti offering two striking remixes that transition from dancefloor energy to a lush, immersive organic house journey.
Zoa EP is more than a release; it’s a statement. Ben & Vincent masterfully craft a sonic experience that bridges storytelling, emotion, and innovation, marking them as rising stars in the downtempo scene. Available now on all major platforms, this is a must-hear for fans of electronic music’s most evocative sounds.
