Z8phyr - Breath of a New Dawn (2018)

Esteemed label veteran Z8phyR, who has earned praise and respect for his musical talents in progressive house, presents "Breath of a New Dawn," his highly anticipated debut artist album. His ethereal compositions that embrace the heart and soul of the Mediterranean epitomize the natural beauty and mystique of the Balearic Islands. Z8phyR's sun-infused melodies, which have been featured on acclaimed international radio shows, such as on "Magic Island Radio," continue to flourish in the hearts of his fans.

"Breath of a New Dawn" is Z8phyR's narrative that symbolically represents personal new beginnings, whilst metaphorically spinning a tale of a beach goer's first-time experience on a magical Balearic isle. Enter a Chicane-styled soundscape in which pensive grooves and ubiquitous melodies flutter beneath the sun's radiant glow.

"Auroral Skies," "Beach Lounger," and "Dancing Tides" open up the album with sunrise and dreamy soundscapes that evoke the therapeutic nature and beauty of the Balearic Islands. As we progress forth on this aural narration, the tempo accelerates with the churning of afternoon tides in "Florescence" and "Suns8tional," two tracks emphasizing jubilant emotions. "Wind's Caress" is that welcome breeze on our face as we "Seas the Day." Carpe diem! "Imprints on the Sand" are those memories we cherish. Embrace your zen with "Komorebi," while "Leaving You Behind" moves us away from unwanted distractions. "Wayfarer's Diary" is purely melodic and summarizes one's travel experiences. "Waverider" and "Time Again" close out the album on a pleasantly vibrant note.
