ROBOT KOCH UNVEILS DREAMY REMIX OF EMMI IIDA’s SINGLE ‘BLOOMING’

Formidable producer Robert Koch has shared a remix of EMMI IIDA’s single ‘Blooming’ , released on 2 August via EFG Records. The original track was written by EMMI IIDA and co-written and produced by Jessica Sharman. Berlin-born and Los Angeles-based Robot Koch is a Platinum and Gold accredited producer. He has remixed the likes of Max Richter, Rammstein and Christian Löffler, and collaborated with conductor and Grammy Award Nominee Kristjan Järvi, along with the Nordic Pulse Orchestra.

EMMI IIDA is an internationally recognised Finnish visual artist, holistic interior architect and musician based in the countryside of Southern Finland. EMMI IIDA’s debut album The Eye released in early 2024, and received support from distinguished publications and radio stations such as Wonderland Magazine, Notion Magazine, METAL Magazine, and CLASH Magazine. ‘Blooming’ begins as a dazzling atmospheric, ambient track, which builds up to EMMI IIDA’s tender spoken word vocals, guiding the listener on a meditative journey, before she breaks into her angelic singing voice over a distinct beat.

In the remix, Robot Koch maintains EMMI’s vocal line, modulating the sound of her voice with subtle trippy effects and filters over a mesmeric synth instrumental, replete with vocal samples of EMMI’s. His reimagining of the track is ethereal 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.”
