Arky Waters – Johera (EP)

Over the last few months Australian producer Arky Waters has given us a steady run of singles including “We Ain’t Like Dem”, “Blessings”, “Roadkilla” & “Moth”, while building the anticipation for an upcoming ep that he also announced was in the works.

That ep is titled “Johera”, and it is being released this week alongside one previously unheard song and the ep’s title-track ‘Johera’, on which Arky says: “was an idea I had sitting on my drive for about a year, it wasn’t until I found the vocal sample online that really blossomed the track into what it is. I started to form the beat around the vocal and it became more of a song. I really love how the groove weaves around her vocal. Her delivery is so strong and raw. I honestly wish I knew what she was singing about but I really have no idea – I guess that’s the beauty of sampling!”

Arky Waters has seen a lot of growth throughout 2024. Each of the lead-singles from this ep received airplay on Australian youth radio network Triple j, they were all given editorial playlist placements across Spotify and Apple Music, and just a few weeks ago he was a showcasing artist at SXSW Sydney 2024.

“This project will always be about having fun and experimenting, you can literally see it through the tracklist, I’m just trying different genres and making what sounds good to me. This is the way I love djing as well, just switching genres all the time. These songs are just timestamps to my education on electronic music. I started to move towards more natural and tribal sounds – probably as a result of the fatigue of getting into the harder side of techno. My aim for the last two tracks was to make something really earthy and organic that would still work in the clubs.” ~ Arky Waters
