Iotaphi - Avant-Garde and interesting

Haunting Experimental Electronic and thought  provoking video from Iotaphi

From a studio retreat in the depths of Ibiza’s valley, Iotaphi have emerged with their hot take on electronic music: debut EP 'Kloudland'. Dark hued... cinematic soundscapes and ethereal vocals are stock in trade on this offering, but it’s the Greek twist that sets their music apart from the likes of James Blake and co. The Athens via Italy duo pepper their heady mixtures with the sounds of traditional instruments such as the santur, while their inspiration is drawn from the myth of Persephone. And, just like the Goddess of Spring, their mission is to bring around change and inspire growth.

Deciphering and embracing chaos is the overriding message in their striking music video for 'Kids of Chaos', which has been nominated in the Berlin Music Video Awards.  The clip sees dancers with Down Syndrome in a state of bliss, throwing shapes in a derelict gymnasium, shrouded in a fog. The powerful video stakes the duo’s claim that they’re not merely musicians, but an all encompassing art project. This modus operandi has already attracted the likes of Daniel Heath (Lana Del Rey) who produced the track 'Hypertopos', which is featured on the EP, as well as Muse who the duo opened for in their previous incarnation.
