EMMI IIDA is a Finnish visual artist, holistic interior architect, and musician currently based in the countryside of Southern Finland. The multi-faceted artist has hosted solo art exhibitions globally, from Barcelona to Los Angeles. Translating her artistic skills into music, she founded EFG Productions and EFG Records, focusing on holistic well-being with healing frequencies.

‘Blooming’ starts as an atmospheric, ambient track with EMMI IIDA offering spoken word vocals, guiding listeners on a meditative journey before transitioning into her angelic singing over an unusual driving beat. The song speaks of following one’s inner vision and intuition. Robot Koch retains EMMI’s vocal line, enhancing it with subtle trippy effects and filters over a mesmerizing synth instrumental enriched with EMMI’s vocal samples. His reimagining of the track is ethereal and soothing, highlighting his production prowess.
Robot 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.”
