I’m not sure I would have clocked the violin if it weren’t in the description—it’s just one thread in a weft of thizzing textures giving form to the steady warp of bass \u0026amp; rhythm.

Their musical style is characterised by a multilayered, down-tempo, yet danceable approach, incorporating violin, synthesisers and sampling techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe duo’s live performance at Meakusma Festival in August 2024 completely blew us away. It was one of those rare moments when time seemed to stand still: the music, the atmosphere and the audience merged into a single warm, smooth and radiant aura of positive energy and vibes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis experience made us want to share such exceptional talent on Hands in the Dark and we are over the moon to announce the release of ugne\u0026amp;maria’s new album ‘ZOTASPHERE’, dropping on 16th January 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 8 songs featured on the record came together slowly, bit by bit. Diary-like, each track reflects on different moments and life events that have followed ugne\u0026amp;maria over the past couple of years. Layers of sound and layers of memory are interlaced into the album, an embodiment of all that feels distant, yet still present. Most of the tracks move around a steady, unhurried pulse, never faster than 120 bpm. Some tracks even ended up being intentionally\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e slowed down, as if the music itself wished to breathe more, mirroring life’s natural pace, with elements stretching, shifting and decelerating. Focused on bass and rhythm, influenced by the depth and warmth of classic house and low-end music, ugne\u0026amp;maria let the sounds drift elsewhere. The violin became a voice, the voice became a texture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67642713571462,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/ugne_maria_-_ZOTASPHERE.jpg?v=1790537190","url":"https:\/\/seasonalworkrecords.com\/products\/ugne-maria-zotasphere","provider":"Seasonal Work","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
