Few albums in the large field of electronic music are more than just a compilation of sounds; they are experienced profoundly within, not only listened to. Zayith, the great new work from Spanish artist emesh, is just one of those. From the very first sound, the album is revealed not as a straightforward song list but as a personal and engaging performance. It establishes a holy place of sound where every low note is firmly grounded and every glimmer of melody and every delicate echo reaches toward the ineffable, so producing a spiritual tension that is simultaneously disturbing and inspirational.
The Hebrew word for "olive tree," "Zayith," the name of the album is not selected arbitrarily. It is the main theme of the whole project, and it represents strong symbols of everlasting life, calm, and connection with the heavens. Just as the historic olive tree stands for great strength and long life, and its oil was once used to empower monarchs and priests—thus creating a holy Just like emesh's music works, the link between the human and the divine is strong. Every rhythm and every layer of the atmosphere turns into a contemporary consecration: a process of sanctification meant to connect the listener with more profound truths. This music brings us back to our memories, to the obvious energy of the world around us, and to the subtle faith that pulses beneath the surface.
Released on September 5, 2025, by the bold label Sendero Records, "Zayith" boldly exceeds the usual limits of deep techno. It's a carefully mapped adventure rather than simply dance music. Old, almost tribal rhythms reverberate inside its sound like lost songs re-adapted for the internet era. The weird, all-encompassing atmospheres are not just a way to create a certain feeling; they are also keys that open up hidden paths to big, hidden inner worlds. Under emesh's control, the sequencer, sampler, and synthesizer become sacred items that convert the divine into a language we feel in our bones, moving from music-making tools into objects of reverence.
From Trillo, Spain, emesh has created a very amazing sonic world with this record. The natural sounds of the planet are effortlessly mixed with the breadth of ambient music in this world.
