New Copy

Genre: House

1. Deflourished
2. Behind Closed Doors

William Kouam Djoko returns to Voyage Direct with 'Deflourished'. After a year with a lot of high highs and some deep lows, William found himself on the dance floor listening to a set by Chicago Footwork specialists DJ Rashad & DJ Spinn.

William experienced what religious people might call a divine moment. All the experiences, emotions and soul searching from the previous year came together in one emotional, energetic moment. William tried to capture all of this in his studio the next day, and within hours Deflourished was created.

B-side 'Behind Closed Doors' completes the package, more subtle and refined than it's A-side brother. A synth-heavy, down-pitched and outstretched song that builds heavily on space, both physically and mentally. On his Sophomore Voyage Direct release William Kouam Djoko truly sets out on a voyage to discover his inner-self. The result, whether it's the expressive energy of 'Deflourished', or the mesmerizing gloominess of 'Behind Closed Doors', is beautiful to say the least.
