Cardiff-born producer and DJ Elkka presents her transcendent debut album Prism Of Pleasure, due for release on May 3, 2024 via Ninja Tune.
Written around the notion of queer intimacy, Prism of Pleasure is like a peep into a steam-filled room of wonders, via the female gaze (a concept beautifully represented in the pink-tinged album artwork, photographed by Elkka’s wife and longtime creative collaborator Alex Lambert). From the smooth, silken vocals of ‘Crushhh’ to the slow-winding, breathy beats of ‘Your Skin’ and the steady, undulating synth patterns of ‘surrender2me’, Prism of Pleasure unfurls like a patchwork of sweat-slick nights, emotional connectedness and hidden pleasures.
Ultimately, Prism of Pleasure is the result of Elkka opening herself up in new ways, and being as authentic as possible.
