"The video for ‘Masks Off’ was born four years ago in the early hours of the morning at the end of a Berlin rave. I imagined capturing the bliss of being the last person on the dance floor as a magical night turns into a beautiful day."

I read this description sent to me by Yvois and I relived some of my favourite Berlin morning raves from before the Pandemic. I was eager to find out how he translated this visually and I wasn't disappointed. Hell, I was in love. With both the sound and the visual representation of "Masks Off" - a lush and bass-heavy late-night electronic gem.

Yvois is New Zealand-born, Berlin-based musician Aotearoa whose craft dwells in the space of warm and aerial electronic music blended with vocal chops and dusty guitar pedals. If you love cinematic music, you've found a home.

"The track is a love-letter to the world that we’ve been missing for so long, and to the friends who came together to recreate that world with me.", shares the artist.
