Guido Preps New EP for State of Joy
The Bristol producer will return with a four-track EP for his own label next month.
After remaining largely silent following the release of his Moods of Future Joy LP via Tectonic in 2013, Bristol beatmaker Guido will return in February with a new effort for his own State of Joy imprint. Built around “Moment”—an “addictive, up-beat” track which features the vocals of Emma-Lou—the upcoming EP will offer an original version and a “Joy Mix” of the track, with both productions coming accompanied by their respective instrumentals. Said to be a hook-laden affair, the original version of the track focuses on building patterns from horn and piano stabs, in addition to Emma-Lou’s soulful vocal efforts, while the “Joy Mix” is said to come with “a unique dance-floor appeal…[featuring] low subs, and bubbly, cutting rhythms.”
The Moment/Joy Mix EP is set to arrive on February 23; in the meantime, the artwork and complete tracklist for Guido’s upcoming record have been included below.
