ROBOT KOCH SHARES ETHEREAL REMIX OF EMMI IIDA’s SINGLE ‘BLOOMING’

Formidable Berlin-based producer Robert Koch has unveiled his remix of EMMI IIDA’s single, ‘Blooming’ which was released on 2 August via EFG Records. The original track was written by EMMI IIDA and co-written and produced by Jessica Sharman. Robot Koch is a world-renowned Platinum and Gold accredited producer, who has remixed the likes of Max Richter, Rammstein and Christian Löffler.

EMMI IIDA is a Finnish visual artist, musician and holistic interior architect. Her debut album The Eye released early 2024, and received support from the likes of Wonderland Magazine, Notion Magazine and CLASH Magazine. ‘Blooming’ begins as a sparkling atmospheric, ambient track, which builds up to EMMI IIDA’s warm spoken-word vocals, guiding the listener on a meditative journey, before she breaks into her angelic singing voice.

In the remix, Robot Koch holds EMMI’s vocal line, modulating the sound of her voice with subtle trippy effects and filters over a hypnotic synth instrumental while using EMMI’s vocals as a sample. His take on the track is captivating and soothing, showcasing his prowess as a producer.

Robert Koch shared: “I enjoyed making this remix for Emmi. I only used the vocals from the original track, I felt like they needed a lot of space around them. So I went for an introspective, atmospheric, and stripped-down composition, based on the feeling the words evoked in me.”
