Hailing from London, UK, breakout producer Kiimi brings us her debut single “Breaking My Mind”, a track that is an exercise in restraint and sophisticated club sonics that belies their fledgling status. Released via Scuba’s iconic Hotflush imprint, the track delivers a hypnotic rhythm to create a trance-inducing listening experience.
A classically trained multi-instrumentalist, “Breaking My Mind” takes Kiimi’s expert knowledge of composition and adapts it to a more rhythmic sound. Utilising percussive elements to allow the groove to gradually unfurl as the track’s main focus, a hypnotic vocal line provides a take on melody which hints at the subliminal.
With the song’s structure building and falling away in waves, “Breaking My Mind” also shines a spotlight on Kiimi’s adept knowledge of the anatomy of dance floor culture; leading listeners towards the ultimate moment of euphoria before breaking the track’s parts down to begin the build again.
A bold, confident debut track that feels custom-built to inspire the communal pulse of bodies moving in the club this summer, “Breaking My Mind” takes an off-kilter swing and subtle melodic touches to present one of the most entrancing debut tracks of the year. Kiimi’s “Breaking My Mind” is a perfect opening chapter for an hugely exciting artist who has only just begun to show the early stages of their true potential.
