Lurking in the lake-laden lands of Espoo lie musical the wonders of Synth-wizard Kebu.
Analog enthusiast to the core, this Finnish producer has garnered a substantial, loyal following thanks to his successful Youtube channel and captivating live performances covering classic synth anthems. After teasing the imminent release of a third album back in April with the ‘Hope’ single, we’re finally introduced to this epic Blade Runner 2049-inspired sci-fi opus. Throughout its 20 tracks, Urban Dreams perfectly embodies the oneiric cyberpunk essence alluded by its own title. Fans of Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis will feel right at home listening to the album’s symphonic new-age electronica sounds, as Kebu borrows heavily from the sounds of eighties sci-fi scores, working exclusively with analogue Synths and drum machines whilst also adding a few modern touches to the production.
