Having been a fan of dance music and Armin van Buuren since 2003, I was inspired to start my own electronic music publication with a very simple, and clear goal - to share electronic music with old, and new fans alike. Working alongside a great team has made me keep that goal alive, and build on it.

Kerala Finishes EP Storyline With Debut EP ‘Escapism’

Denver, CO — It’s finally here. Emerging producer Kerala is back with the highly-anticipated unveiling of his debut EP, Escapism.

Emotional, inspiring, and beautiful, Escapism isn’t just about what you hear – it’s also about what you feel. Six of his finest works, cohesively tied into a storyline telling the tale of someone finding their place in this vast, beautiful world. Escapism is out now as a self-release.

“Often in life, we will think we need to escape our current surroundings in order to find ourselves again… when really, all we need to escape is the constraints of our own mind.

‘Escapism’ is a story about love, loss, ambition, and finding yourself through traveling the world, only to realize happiness was within you all along.

The storyline of this concept EP follows the journey of an individual coming to terms with this issue, through 6 distinct steps.” – Kerala

Full Tracklist:

What If feat. Marie Lang
Wait
Calling Me
Escapism
Different Light feat. Taylor Tuke
Amor Fati

Kerala is Colorado-based producer Jordan Evanoff’s first solo endeavor. After years of touring with jamtronica/electronic rock band Evanoff, Evanoff has branched off to explore different avenues of sound design. His new sound is an uplifting cinematic indie-electronic experience, most closely aligned with the electronic pop & future bass genres, taking inspiration from pioneers such as Kasbo, Odesza and Forester.

The project’s mission is to provide euphoric and uplifting experiences through music, break down cultural boundaries, and explore the world in order to gain a better understanding of humanity.

Evanoff travels to and immerses himself in unique places, writing songs while attempting to manifest those experiences into sound. The first Kerala tunes were written when he was staying in a small jungle village in Costa Rica, which is also where the project was conceptualized. Since then, due to quarantine, his upcoming ‘Escapism’ EP was written while exploring the Colorado mountains (expected Summer 2021).
