notes: '12" EP with music inspired by Final Fantasy IX.

  "SONIKKU comes riding back into the Lobster tropical gardens with a flurry of sparkling,
  arpeggiator-driven ambient jams featuring three extended reworks from NTS regular
  Mobbs.

  SONIKKU''s originals apply a drier and skit-length pop approach to synth-based home
  listening. Building a borderline-saccharine melodic base to each track then upping
  the sheen and the tropical & twinkling production. Shots of balearic appear in Earth
  Temple, Christmas jingles echo from the depths of Diamond Dust, while Sky Garden
  channels a more direct emotional palette of warm synthesizer heartbreak.

  Mobbs'' approach is to allow each track to breathe around it''s core strengths over
  a longer time frame, whilst enhancing and encouraging each element to make it''s
  space and time to enter the track. The shifts and swaying structures turn shorter
  synth ideas into fully blown journeys that become almost hypnotic by the end. A
  soft, dream-like ride into bliss."

  Production & arrangement by SONIKKU

  Mastered by Beau at Ten Eight Seven
