Yotto Deviates From Trance with Upcoming Ambient Studio Album ‘Erased Dreams’

Yotto is to release his first ambient studio album ‘Erased Dreams’ with the label Reflections.

Yotto, an artist known for his trance music, announces he is exploring new ambient beats on his upcoming studio album, ‘Erased Dreams’ to be released July 11.

‘Erased Dreams’ will be the first full-length, low-tempo project from Yotto. The Helsinki-based artist is well-known for his thunderous DJ sets and deep, bass-heavy house productions, but with ‘Erased Dreams,’ Yotto reveals another side to himself.

The 8-track ambient album, released on Anjunadeep’s new sister label Reflections, may seem like a departure from Yotto’s usual style, but he’s always made music like this. With Reflections, he finally found a home for it.

Throughout his sparkling career, including a Billboard #1 LP and official remixes for artists like Joris Voorn, Gorillaz, and Coldplay, Yotto has produced ambient tracks to help him look inward and recharge his creative battery. But when COVID hit, his inner world took over.

“At first, I was being really productive with club music, but then after a while, I started making something completely opposite,” says Yotto.

Yotto found himself exploring a different form of expression and didn’t have a plan other than to create. But when he put the tracks side-by-side in a playlist, he recognized a synergy, and the outline of the project began to take shape.

The result is more of a continuous soundscape than an album, an ethereal and dreamy experience designed to accompany the listener as they turn inward and drift away. If club music is a form of escape, this is too – but instead of turning outward, we lose ourselves inward.

Yotto says Erased Dreams is structured like a journal and acts as a documentation of his inner workings and sentiments during the lockdown.

The artist says club music will always be at the core of his work, but his ambient catalog will no longer sit in the shadows. Together, these parallel forms of expression don’t dilute Yotto’s artistry; they make it even stronger.

“Erased Dreams” is set to be released on Reflections on July 11.
