Following the success of its lead single, “I’M NOT,” Chicago-based producer and muti-instrumentalist COFRESI shares his new AGENDA EP, his first full-length project since his 2021 debut studio album, Illuminate. The five-track EP unfolds as a chronicle of COFRESI’s signature blend of electronic, percussion, and instrumental musical elements, and includes a special feature from keyboardist, DJ, and producer Jason Leech on “MAKE U.” Breathing new life into the world of hybrid instrumentalist-producers, the AGENDA EP sees COFRESI usher in a fresh and innovative style of recording by incorporating a range of styles and influences from bass to house to electronica. Spanning five electrifying tracks, this highly energetic collection is a testament to his ever-evolving creative vision and boundless musical talent. AGENDA is due for release on April 6th.
AGENDA marks a significant milestone for COFRESI who has been praised for his unique and dynamic approach to production.

The 5-track EP opens with ‘FOLLOW‘, a dynamic and spirited offering that blends propulsive beats with ethereal soundscapes, creating an immersive and energetic listening experience. ‘FOLLOW’ launches into a mesmerizing sonic journey to an alternate universe with otherworldly sound samples and a four-on-the-floor beat creating a heart-pounding soundscape. COFRESI combines trap-infused beats and house rhythms to create ‘VIOLET‘, which is followed by the titular track, ‘AGENDA,’ which boasts a high-octane future rave sound. Serving as the lone collaboration on the EP, ”MAKE U” ft. Jason Leech – known for his collaborations with artists such as Raddix, Evaluation, and LUZCID – is an explosive weapon that is guaranteed to ignite dancefloors everywhere. With its high-octane beats, infectious hooks, and masterful production, this banger exemplifies COFRESI’s mastery of electronic music and his ability to craft thrilling productions brimming with character. Rounding out the EP is the lead single, “I’M NOT,” a stunning self-reflective cut full of organic flutes, striking vocal chops, and a pulsing bassline.
In line with his production philosophy, COFRESI plays with a wide array of electronic styles in this EP. Drawing influences from bass, house, trap, and electronica music – COFRESI creates an innovative, genre-bending EP, incorporating both acoustic and electronic elements into his sound. His chameleon-like ability to collaborate with a wide range of sonic palettes has seen him work with the likes of Flamingosis, Matisyahu, Griffin Kenna, Bass Physics, and more. Inspired by live electronic acts such as L’Impératrice, Polo & Pan, and The Blaze, and driven by a passion for continuous innovation, COFRESI is on a mission to create a distinct sound and live show that is uniquely his.
