From the very first beat, Kiwiani’s single ‘Close’ pulls listeners into a captivating soundscape, blending lush, bitcrushed synths with hypnotic, pitched-down vocals and unpredictable off-beat rhythms. It’s a track that feels both laid-back and thrillingly experimental, showcasing the creative’s talent for pushing boundaries in subtle, powerful ways. Inspired by trailblazers like Flume and Sophie, Kiwiani leans into granular synthesis to create a sound that’s both textured and immersive.

The track builds gradually, layering rich sonic textures that draw you in deeper with each listen. There’s an undeniable pull to ‘Close’, the kind of song that makes you want to hit replay to catch every intricate detail you might have missed the first time. With this release, Kiwiani doesn’t just reaffirm his spot in the electronic scene – he elevates it. This track captures his ability to craft complex yet inviting soundscapes, solidifying his presence as a go-to artist for anyone seeking introspective and cutting-edge electronic music.

“Flume and Sophie have been huge inspirations for ‘Close’. I love playing with weird sound designs, rhythms, and textures, and that’s what drove me to create this track. I’m also a big fan of granular synthesis, and this song started from me just experimenting with sounds until one day the ideas flowed, and I was able to finish it.”
