22:15 PMThe up-and-coming German producer Essáy puts his tracks on Soundcloud with surreal but descriptive genre tags. It pokes a little fun at our need to label things, but also tries to get across something essential about the music’s intent with haiku-like limitations. He ends up providing us with terms like “emotional sunstep,” which somehow mean a lot, regardless of the fact that they don’t really mean anything. The only constant is the word “emotional” preceding each tag, and for good reason, as his exciting, often innocently sweet tracks are moving, and not just in a physical way. It’s clearest on the “emotional house” track “Ocarina,” where he spreads sunny beats and a sample of the titular instrument to grand lengths. 2014. discogs.com/artist/2257208-Essáy
