The debut single from Stockholm-based DJ and producer Anna-My, “Memoria” blends bursting synth effervescence with hypnotic house-inspired beats for an immersive, replay-inducing success. Noting influences such as Jamie xx, Peggy Gou, and Caribou, Anna-My channels an atmospheric electronic appeal throughout the production, which draws upon personal nostalgia and an appreciation for the city of London.
“It feels like I’ve been working on this music my whole life. It’s a reflection of memories and melodies that I’ve collected,” Anna-My says. “Memoria transfers me to the vibrant streets of Brixton, London, where I somehow became an adult. The crowds of people, each on their own mission, a blend of cultures from everywhere, the scent of spices in the air, vendors calling out and drinks pouring — it’s all pure energy, color, and life moving at full speed.”
Released on Stockholm-based label Genesis Records, “Memoria” develops with a climactic sense of invigoration. Panting percussion and a concise vocal sample move into sporadic synths, which intrigue with their spacey flashes. A glistening escalation takes hold thereafter, particularly excelling as a bass-y maneuvering emerges past the one-minute turn. The mid-point is particularly captivating, as the shimmering synths exude an enjoyable buoyancy into a final minute with pulsating rhythmic intensity. “Memoria” is a fantastic debut from Anna-My.
