Stop Me by Enes Çakir & Yost Koen

For Kiosk ID no. 034, Israel’s Yost Koen and Turkey’s Enes Çakır merge their percussive and melodic sensibilities, concocting a refreshing blend of vaulting chord chops and soulful vocals framed in an infectious substructure of nuanced, tech-infused drum work. ‘Stop Me’ delivers a suave two-tracker filled with bursts of incredible joie de vivre, including remixes by Dodi Palese & Musumeci and Ivory.

‘Stop Me’ draws its unique dancefloor physicality from an amalgamation of influences framed by an irresistibly shuffling groove.
Dubby in sound makeup, techy in structure, and powerfully soulful in its vocal passages, ‘Stop Me’ is an expertly forged genre-bender, cycling through spaced-out synth chops and patterns that deftly merge groove and melodics.

‘Burn For You’ unfolds a powerfully danceable and introspective journey. Merging dubby, spaced-out chords with a deep and techy beat, Yost and Enes progressively unfold crashing waves of piano chords, transforming the track's mesmeric atmosphere into a soulfully
uplifting warehouse soiree.

Dodi Palese and Musumeci strip ‘Stop Me’ down to its soulful, pulsing core. Carving a vast frequency band for a warmly pitch-bending synth mantra that becomes the track’s energetic core, the Italian duo transforms the original into an artfully pruned character track that feels equal parts new age and old school.

Ivory’s ‘Burn For You’ Re-Fire Edit coaxes up the floaty original’s minute smidges of techy darkness, amplifying them into an eerie, throbbing roller that cumulates in oscillating waves of wailing sirens and a darkly shuddering beat.

Yost Koen and Enes Çakır are masters at finding the elusive balance between groove and melodics. Their sound effortlessly merges percussive structure with emotive depth, weaving complex patterns that deliver energy and emotion in tandem. ‘Stop Me’ is the apogee of this craft: a beautifully melodic tapestry that, on the dancefloor, delivers compelling physicality.
