What the press says
---
"ANKO both channel the genius of the roots of trip hop and make it their own with their impeccable performance, composition and production. It’s a thoroughly modern reminder of what trip hop can be and definitely something special for EDM fans who understand how diverse and complex electronic music can really be." - Your EDM
"ANKO have such an ear to put together a masterpiece. Take a listen to ANKO and their newest EP, “Waved” to light up the skies this Spring and catapult yourself onto an epic Summer." - Vents Magazine
"It is palpable that the guys of ANKO are drawn to and influenced by living a life of minimalism and dialing back into the basics that tend to spark the brightest lights within. If you’re a fan of fellow artists such as Bonobo, Tycho, Gramatik and Pretty Lights, then do yourself a favor and vibe out to ANKO" - Tattoo.com
"A perfect, chilled-out listen for your Monday blues. [...] Put on this EP, stretch out, and lose yourself to its lushness and beauty." - Obscure Sound
"Using a combination of samples and live instrumentation, ANKO is able to create a unique and original experience in a genre saturated with many musicians attempting the same methods, but yielding an entirely different outcome. Independently supported and released, ‘Waved’ is an EP perfect for a laid-back experience if you find yourself in the mood for sounds similar to Bonobo, Blockhead, and Nujabes." - Global Dance Electronic
"ANKO’s debut EP Waved is one that brims with reflection, silence, chaos, and offbeat samples. But what makes it an ear-stopper is its seamless ability to dice and synthesize futuristic sounds with raw classical ones. [...] Waved is ANKO’s playground where the duo lets us into the pleasure of indulging into the poetic nature of sounds." - Aupium
"Unruffled and perhaps, produced with our heart rates in mind, ANKO’s instrumental album is easy-listening at its finest." - Grungecake
