Time Goes By does not reflect thirty years of playing the piano, but thirty years of playing around with the piano. The same goes for the drums. Creativity and gamification before craftsmanship. Art driven artist. Mood, atmosphere and emotion before melody and harmony.
I have come a long way from pure electronic music to more organic sound with influences of modern jazz and big calm chillout music. My instrumentals are always a result of music ideas, sound collages, experiments and improvisations. It took me a year to prepare the material for the record and it was more of an adventure than anything else.
Microbiome
Thirteen years after winning Starter talent scouting contest (Radio Wave), Yogi Rulez continues magic recording studio games balancing between downtempo and electronic jazz based on a fusion of double bass, rhodes piano and vibraphone mixed with fresh chillout grooves.

Everything bad is good for something. The lockdown caused by the COVID-19 epidemic created time and space to complete the sound work on the EP record, which I have been working on since 2019. Let me introduce you new musical genre called "lockdowntempo".

Contemporary Art from the Black Market
Very first debut EP released by Language Lab net label in 2005. The intro reflected the disproportionate intervention of the Czech police at the CzechTek festival, which acted on the orders of Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek. Trafo was inspired by the golden era of big triphop names (Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky ...). Espirito Santo and Mecca are well-known singles that led Yogi Rulez to victory in the Startér (Český rozhlas, Rádio Wave) talent contest. 100 CDs with fine printed booklet artwork were released at own expense.

"Yogi Rulez guests for this cool and vibrant EP, chilled in the extreme with reggae, dnb and black america influenced vibes. Nuances of Dirty Harry era sounds and feelings intermixed with an up to date culture slant. An EP with many surprises and a well produced form - pure enjoyment."
"A great mix! A real pleasure of rythm, sound and texture's music."
