Playing on M.P.R Chill is the latest release by kicktracks entitled 'Jeju's Time'
Release date: Feb 21, 2025
Kicktracks is a music producer and traveler currently based in Mauritius, but his sound knows no borders. Blending hip-hop, lo-fi, and influences from the places he explores, his music creates immersive, cinematic soundscapes that capture the essence of different cultures and experiences.
Travel has always been a huge inspiration for his work, but life threw an unexpected challenge his way - a stage four Burkitt lymphoma diagnosis. After recovering, he was finally able to return to making music and bring it to completion with a renewed creative vision.
"Jeju's Time" was conceived and recorded on Jeju Island, a place that deeply moved him. Struck by its beauty and the sense of freedom that comes with traveling, he knew he had to capture that feeling in this song. To add depth, he incorporated ambient sounds recorded directly on the island, making the track even more immersive.
But this song isn’t just about Jeju - it’s about the feeling of being on a journey, when everything around you is constantly in motion, and you find yourself moving with it. This sense of movement was especially meaningful, as Kicktracks embarked on this trip just a month and a half after undergoing hip replacement surgery - making every step, every moment of travel, even more valuable.
